| Consult the wheel range chart to ensure
the wheel load rating is sufficient for the application. |
| Ensure that the tyre load rating is sufficient
for the application. |
| Before fitting the tyre to the wheel ensure
you have followed section 2 of the fitting instructions. |
Ensure that the correct spigot rings and
fixings are used. Fit bulge seat conical ( taper ) nuts or
bolts for conical wheel seating, and fit special
(radius ) nuts of bolts to special wheel hole seating. |
| Check that each wheel nut or bolt has
received the correct number of thread turns. |
| Make sure the mounting faces of the hub
and wheel are free from dirt, loose paint, rust etc. |
| Follow the fitting instructions for the
correct assembly of the wheel to the hub, and tighten the
wheel fixings in a cross wise manner. |
| Tighten the fixings with a hand tool applying
the correct torque specified by the vehicle manufacturer. |
| Ensure that the nuts run freely on the
stud thread or the bolt screws freely into the hub assembly. |
| Ensure that the tyres, are inflated to
the correct pressure for the application fitted with that
profile of tyre. |
| Remove and dispose of any wheels with
severely damage flanges, fractured centre discs, or major
distortions. |
|
| Do not assume that the rim profile size
indicates suitability of wheel use. |
| Do not assume that the tyre listed in
this guide is of an adequate load rating for the application.
The tyre size's listed in this guide are only suggestions,
and it is the responsibility of the person fitting the tyres
to ensure their suitability. |
| Do not assume that the wheel will fit
the vehicle without any foul problems. |
| Under any circumstances mix different
types of wheel fixings as this may damage the wheel and result
in the wheel becoming loose. |
| Assemble the wheel on stretched, damaged,
or worn studs. |
Fully tighten one nut, whilst others are
still loose.
|
| Use air impact tools for final nut/bolt
tightening. Over tighten wheel nuts/bolts by using extensions
on wheel nut spanners or spiders. |
| Use grease. |
| Do not assume that the tyre pressures
that are stated in the vehicle manufacturers handbook are
correct for the profile of the tyre that you are fitting.
|
| Weld or attempt to repair damaged or distorted
wheels. |
