Wheel and Wheel Nut Maintenance and Installation
WARNING
To prevent property damage, personal injury, and
/ or death, always follow these instructions when
mounting tires on wheels:
• Only personnel who have had proper training and
experience should mount or remove tires from rims or
wheels.
• Use only heavy-duty rims or rims approved for radial
tires. It may be necessary to contact your wheel and
rim distributor to determine if your rims are approved
for radial tires.
• If a tube is to be used, make sure special radial tire
tubes are used because of the increased flexing of the
sidewalls on radial tires.
• Never use antifreeze, silicones, or petroleum-based
lubricants when mounting radial tires.
Only an
approved lubricant should be used as an aid for
mounting tires.
• Always inflate tires in a safety cage.
WARNING
To prevent property damage, personal injury, and
/ or death:
• Do not mix stud-piloted wheels or fasteners with
hub-piloted wheels or fasteners. Mixing wheel types
may cause premature wheel failure.
• Do not change from steel wheels or a steel inner and
aluminum outer wheel combination to aluminum wheels
without changing the mounting hardware since the
thicker aluminum wheels require longer studs. In some
cases with flange nut mounting systems, changing the
hub and stud assembly may be required. Improperly
mixing components could cause wheel or fastener
failures.
• Do not mix foreign (not made in North America) wheel
mounting parts with domestic (made in North America)
parts.
Many foreign wheel components look similar
to, but are not exactly the same as, domestic made
components. Mixing components can cause wheel or
fastener failures.
