Practical advice
Removing the wheels
Note:
Extend the telescopic jack the maximum
distance so that there is a gap between
the wheel and the ramp
Danger.
If support stands are not available, the
spare wheel or the defective wheel must
be placed under the body at a suitable
position for the duration of the tyre
change to provide protection in case the
jack should fail.
Remove the ramp
Unscrew and remove all wheel nuts
apart from three nuts spaced equally
apart
Do not unscrew the last three wheel
nuts until you are sure that the wheel
is seated on the wheel bolts without
tension
Remove the defective wheel
Caution:
When you remove the wheel, take great
care not to scrape it over the threads
of the wheel bolts. This would damage
the bolt threads and make it difficult to
screw on the wheel nuts. In the worst
case scenario, a wheel nut could become
seized on a damaged wheel bolt.

Place a ramp at the good wheel of
the twin tyres and drive the bus onto
it
Note:
If the ground is very slippery and hard,
the ramp may slide out from under the
wheel when the bus is driven onto it. Ob-
serve the information and instructions on
the ramp instruction plate.

Loosen the wheel nuts using the
wheel nut wrench from the vehicle
