CHECK TO MAKE SURE THAT TRUCK WILL NOT ROLL WHEN AXLE IS RAISED.

If necessary, block tires to prevent truck from rolling.

All wheel nuts on hubs on the left side of the truck have

left-hand threads (rotate nuts to the right to loosen, to the

left to tighten). All wheel nuts on hubs on the right side

of the truck have right-hand threads (rotate nuts left to

loosen, right to tighten).

BREAK LOOSE ALL NUTS OF WHEEL TO BE REMOVED.

To remove a pusher axle wheel for use as a spare, lower

the axle before attempting to break nuts loose otherwise

the wheel will spin.

RAISE THE AXLE UNTIL THE TIRE CLEARS THE GROUND.

CAN NOW BE REMOVED IF REQUIRED.

MOUNT SPARE WHEEL AND TIRE ASSEMBLY ON HUB AND INSTALL NUTS. (IF

INSTALLING INNER DUAL WHEEL AND TIRE ASSEMBLY, MOUNT IT ON HUB

FIRST, THEN MOUNT OUTER WHEEL AND TIRE ASSEMBLY ON HUB AND lN-

STALL NUTS.) RUN NUTS UP SNUGLY BUT DO NOT COMPLETE TIGHTENING

AT THIS TIME.

LOWER TRUCK. ALTERNATELY TIGHTEN NUTS AS SHOWN. You will not be able

to overtighten the nuts due to the size bolts and length of the wrench handle. Notify

Organizational Maintenance to properly torque the nuts.
