13 to 25 mm (0.5 to 1.0 in.) when the tire has the correct air
pressure.
Install the Wheels
Install the wheel on the hub. Tighten the nuts in a cross pat-
tern and torque to 450 to 500 N•m (332 to 369 lbf ft) for the
drive wheel nuts and 155 to 175 N•m (114 to 129 lbf ft) for
steer wheel nuts. If the wheels are the two-piece rims, make
sure the nuts that fasten the rim halves together are toward
the hub when they are installed.
Pneumatic Tubeless Tire, Repair
Remove Tire From Lift Truck
WARNING
Wheels must be changed and tires repaired by trained
personnel only.
Deflate tire completely before removing the wheel from
the lift truck. If dual wheels are used, deflate both tires.
Air pressure in the tires can cause the tire and rim parts
to explode causing serious injury or death.
Always wear safety glasses.
Never loosen the nuts that hold the inner and outer
wheels halves together when there is air pressure in the
tire.
WARNING
DO NOT mix brands of rubber sealing rings and tires.
Serious injury to personnel or damage to the lift truck
can occur if the rubber sealing rings are not compatible
with the tire brand.
Specially designed rubber sealing rings enable tubeless tires
to be used on wheel rims that were designed to be used with
a tube. A rubber sealing ring is inserted inside the tire
between the tire beads and ensures the air tightness of the
existing wheel and the tubeless tire. This rubber sealing ring
is referred to as either a Tubeless Bead Seal (TBS) or a
Tubeless Sealing Ring (TSR). The TBS has a separate valve
stem and can be removed separately from the rubber sealing
ring. On a TSR tire, the valve stem is integrated into the rub-
ber sealing ring and cannot be removed separately from the
rubber sealing ring. See Figure 39.
