MAINTENANCE
106
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
wheel halves together when there is air pressure in
the tire.
WARNING
Make sure all of the air pressure is removed from the
tire before a wheel is disassembled. Air pressure in
the tires can cause the tire and rim parts to explode
causing serious injury or death.
Keep tire tools in firm contact with wheels parts. If the
tool slips, it can move with enough force to cause se-
rious injury.
NOTE:
When the wheels are disassembled, see
FIGURE 30. There are several types of wheels used on
these series of lift trucks.
