& WARNING There is a risk of fire and an
accident due to abraded tyre valves
Tyre valves in contact with the wheel spider
can be abraded, resulting in a loss of tyre
pressure.
Tyre pressure loss jeopardises road and
R
traffic safety.
Tyre pressure loss damages or destroys
R
tyres.
Tyre pressure loss causes tyres to over‐
R
heat and possibly catch fire.
Guide the tyre valve or valve extension
#
through the centre of the valve cut-out.
* NOTE Wheel damage due to imbalance
If the clamping plate nuts are tightened in a
crosswise pattern, the rim is placed under
tension and the wheel becomes imbalanced.
Tighten the nuts in a clockwise direc‐
#
tion.
Tighten the nuts in several stages up to
#
the specified tightening torque.
Before fitting the wheel, remove any rust and dirt
from the contact areas on the following parts:
spoke heads
R
disk wheel
R
nuts
R
clamping plates
