Tire Replacement - UniCarriers 1F1 Operator's Manual

TIRE REPLACEMENT

!
WARNING
• Do not remove the wheels unless you are familiar with the
procedure. For wheel replacement, contact your Local
Authorized Dealer.
• Do not get under or on the lift truck when it is supported
only by a jack. Doing so could lead to a serious accident,
including death in the case the jack comes off accidentally.
• Use a jack with a capacity of 4.0 tons or more.
!
CAUTION
• Always park the lift truck on a flat, level and solid surface.
• Unload cargo from the lift truck.
• Do not turn the ignition switch to the ON or OFF position,
or operate control levers from any position other than the
operator's seat.
• Keep the parking brake on.
• Make sure the selector lever is in the neutral position.
• Check the lift truck and its surroundings for safety.
• Chock wheels that are not being changed.
• Use hardwood blocks that do not slip easily and are strong
enough to withstand the lift truck weight. Do not use broken
or cracked blocks or metal blocks that slip easily.
• Use wood blocks of the following size:
Height: Allows the block to tightly fit between the backward
tilted mast and the road surface.
Width: 50 to 100 mm (1.97 to 3.94 in) larger than the
longitudinal length of the mast rail.
Length: 20 to 40 mm (0.79 to 1.57 in) larger than the width of
the outside mast.
• To prevent the lift truck from inclining, do not place wood
blocks of different heights under the right and left mast.
NOTE:
There are two types of wheel nut wrenches: a wheel nut wrench for the
front (drive) wheels and a spanner wrench to remove the wheel retainer
nut for the rear (steer) wheels.
