Inspection of dismountable rims
Due to special operating conditions for dismountable rims, theres
is a risk of excessive wear of the lock ring groove in the rim bead,
the lock ring itself and the 45° face on the beadseat or loose
flange. In extreme circumstances this can lead to breakage of the
rim bead which in turn has potentially dangerous consequences.
To minimize the risk of an accident the inspection should be car-
ried out on all EM-wheels (EM=Earth Moving) and dismountable
rims.

1. Lock ring
2. Beadseat
3. 45° surface on the beadseat or loose flange
