Tires, Wheels and Hub Maintenance
Wheel Safety Information
DANGER
DO NOT attempt to repair wheels or tires unless you are trained and equipped to
do so. Wheel and tire assemblies cannot be worked on without proper tools and
equipment. Failure to follow this may lead to serious personal injury or death.
DANGER
Failure to properly torque-tighten the wheel nuts can result in the breakage of
wheel studs and the subsequent loss of wheels. Loss of vehicle control and serious
personal injury or death can occur.
DANGER
DO NOT use oil or grease on studs or nuts. The tightening torque is affected and can
lead to incorrect clamping loads between the rim and hub. This could lead to a loss
of the wheel. Loss of vehicle control and serious personal injury or death can occur.
DANGER
DO NOT install regrooved, retreaded or repaired tires on the steering axle(s). They
could fail unexpectedly and cause the loss of vehicle control, leading to serious
personal injury or death.
DANGER
DO NOT use mismatched wheel components. If they do not exactly match the
original design specifications, they may cause failure or separation leading to
blowout and an accident and personal injury or death.
