G2/2).
- Completely unscrew the wheel nuts and remove them.
- Free the wheel by reciprocating movements and roll it to the side.
- Slip the new wheel on the wheel hub.
- Refit the nuts by hand, if necessary grease them.
- Remove the security wedges and lower the lift truck with the jack.
- Tighten the wheel nuts with a torque wrench (see : 3 - MAINTENANCE : A - DAILY OR EVERY
10 HOURS SERVICE for tightening torque).
FRONT WHEEL
- Lift the carriage and tilt the mast backwards.
- Put wedges under the foot of the mast on the side of the wheel to be changed (fig.
G2/3).
