Pneumatic Tire With Tube, Repair

Remove Wheels From Lift Truck

WARNING
A solid rubber tire that is the same shape as a pneu-
matic tire can be installed on a three-piece or four-
piece wheel for a pneumatic tire. DO NOT make
changes in the parts of the rim if this type of solid rub-
ber tire is installed instead of a pneumatic tire.
Changes to the parts of the rim can cause a failure of
the wheel and cause an accident.
The type of tire and the tire pressure (pneumatic tires)
are shown on the Nameplate. Make sure the Nameplate
is correct for the type of tires on the lift truck.
WARNING
Wheels must be changed and tires repaired by trained
personnel only.
Deflate tire completely before removing the wheel from
the lift truck. If dual wheels are used, deflate both tires.
Air pressure in the tires can cause the tire and rim
parts to explode causing serious injury or death.
176
Always wear safety glasses.
Never loosen the nuts that hold the inner and outer
wheel halves together when there is air pressure in the
tire.
1. Put the lift truck on blocks as described in How to Put a
Lift Truck on Blocks at the beginning of this section.
2. Remove the air from the tire. Remove the valve core to
make sure that all of the air is out of the inner tube. Push a
wire through the valve stem to make sure that the valve
stem does not have a restriction.
3. Remove the wheel nuts and remove the wheel and tire
from the lift truck. Lift truck tires and wheels are heavy.
