To ensure even more even wear on all tyres, you can also rotate the tyres
on the wheel rim and mount them on the other side of the vehicle.
• Remove the wheels from the axles.
• Turn the tyre on the rim if the wheel is to be used on the other side of the
crane.
• Mount the wheels on another axle, as shown in the diagram. Replace any
damaged parts. Tighten the wheel nuts;

G
Risk of accidents if the procedure is not carried out correctly.
This section only shows the sequence to be followed when changing
wheels.
When removing/mounting the wheels, observe all the safety instructions
and the procedure stated in the operating manual.
G
Risk of accidents due to errors when mounting aluminium wheel rims.
Only have tyres fitted to aluminium wheel rims in an authorised workshop
with the correct special tool.
This will prevent tyre damage caused by assembly errors.
G
Risk of tyre damage caused by the tyres running in a different direction.
Turn the tyres on the wheel rims before you put the wheels on the other
side of the vehicle.
This will prevent tyre damage caused by the tyres running in a different
direction.
