Spare wheel retainer behind the cab

The spare wheel retainer is mounted behind the cab
and the spare wheel is winched down on the right-hand
side of the truck.
In the event of a puncture, try to park the truck on
level, solid ground, leaving sufficient space to be able
to winch down the wheel.
Take care not to slip when standning on the chassis
frame.
