SAFARI

WHEELS & TYRES

Tyre Rotation :

To equalize wear, rotate tyres according to figure No.3

periodically. Set tyre pressure.

NOTE :

Due to their design, radial tyres tend to wear faster in

the shoulder area, particularly in front positions. This

makes regular rotation necessary. Do not use spare

wheel with steel wheel rim for tyre rotation, when

vehicle is fitted with alloy wheel rims.

Wheel Removal :

Loosen wheel nut (M14 x 1.5) by approximately

180 deg. (half a rotation).

Hoist vehicle

Remove nuts and then wheel

Wheel nuts must be tightened in sequence given in

figure and to proper torque to avoid bending wheel or

brake disc. Figure 4.

NOTE :

Clean all parts and remove any build up of corrosion

any parts, before installation of the wheel.

Never heat any part to loosen tight wheel, it will

shorten life of wheel and bearings.

Tightening Torque:120 Nm - 150 Nm (12-15 kg m)

Tyre Mounting and Demounting :

Use a tyre changing machine to mount or demount

tyres. Follow equipment manufacturer's instructions.

Do not use hand tools or tyre irons alone to change

tyres as they may damage tyre beads or wheel rim.

Rim bead seats should be cleaned with a wire brush

or coarse steel wool to remove lubricants, old rubber

and light rust.

After mounting, inflate to specified pressure so that

beads are completely seated.

Warning :

Do not stand over tyre when inflating. Beadmay break

when bead snaps over rim's safety hump and cause

serious personal injury.

Do not exceed specified pressure when inflating. If

specified pressure will not seat beads, deflate,

re-lubricate and reinflate.

Install valve core and inflate to proper pressure.
