SAFARI

33 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 : 1. Loosen wheel nut (M14 x 1.5) by approximately 180 deg. (half a rotation). 2. Hoist vehicle 3. 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.
