TIRES, WHEELS AND HUB MAINTENANCE
Wheel Safety Information
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
