RAM CHASSIS CAB 2024, Owner'S Manual

Page: 273 / 360

For 3500 Single Rear-Wheel (SRW) models, use the flat
end of the lug wrench to hook and pull off the hub cap.
Find the opening in the hub cap, insert the lug wrench,
and pull off the cap. If you need to pry against the
wheel, protect the wheel surface.
On 3500 models with Dual Rear-Wheels (DRW), you
must first remove the hub caps—use the procedure
noted for the single rear wheel. For the wheel covers
(wheel skins), insert the flat end of the lug wrench
between the outer edge of the wheel cover and the
wheel. Pry against the wheel to remove the wheel cover.
Repeat this procedure around the wheel until the cover
pops off.
CAUTION!
•
Use a pulling motion to remove the hub cap. Do
not use a twisting motion when removing the hub
cap, damage to the hub cap; finish may occur.
•
The rear hub caps on the dual rear wheel has two
pull off notches. Make sure that the hook of the
jack handle driver is located squarely in the cap
notch before attempting to pull off.
Replace the wheel covers using a rubber mallet to ease
the installation. Align the wheel cover vent holes to the
wheel vent holes. Tap on the wheel cover as needed to
firmly seat it evenly around the wheel.
JUMP STARTING
If your vehicle has a discharged battery, it can be jump
started using a set of jumper cables and a battery in
another vehicle, or by using a portable battery booster
pack. Jump starting can be dangerous if done improp-
erly, so please follow the procedures in this section
carefully.
WARNING!
Do not attempt jump starting if the battery is frozen. It
could rupture or explode and cause personal injury.
CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any
other booster source with a system voltage greater
than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor,
alternator or electrical system may occur.
