4.8 Changing a tyre

The car jack may only be inserted in the appropriate
mounting holes! If the car jack is attached in other places,
this may cause damage to the vehicle or even accidents if
the vehicle falls off the jack.
The car jack is to be used only for changing tires. It may
never be used when working underneath the vehicle!
Danger of death!
The levelling supports may not be used as a car jack!
When changing a tire, please also observe the vehicle
manufacturer's operating instructions.
Changing a tire
• Place a firm base, such as a piece of wood, underneath
the car jack if the vehicle is on soft ground.
• Insert the car jack into the appropriate mounting holes.
• Turn the wheel spanner a few times to loosen the wheel
mounting screws, but do not remove them.
• Jack up the vehicle until the wheel is 2 -3 cm above the
ground.
• Remove the wheel mounting screws and lift off the tire.
• Place the spare tire on the wheel hub and align it.
• Screw the bolts on and tighten them in a diagonal sequen-
ce.
• Lower the car jack and remove it.
• Tighten the wheel mounting screws evenly with the wheel
spanner. Please refer to the operating instructions for
the base vehicle for the specified value of the tightening
torque of the wheel mounting screws.
• Place the tire you have removed in the (possibly existing)
spare tire holder and then shut the holder.
