5.7 Wheels, Hubs & Tyres
Equipment Required
Torque wrench (see required settings in Torque Settings section)
24mm hex sockets/spanner
Before installing/removing any wheels and tyres make certain that the machine is jacked up high enough for
them to be easily fitted and to ensure that the machine is securely supported with fixed supports so it cannot
move.
When installing any of the various wheel options ensure that the flat side of the lug nut is against the wheel;
see Figure 5.73.
When installing any of the various wheel options ensure that the flat of the wheel face is against the hub face;
see Figure 5.73.
Figure 5.73 – SR460/620/820 Wheel & Wheel Nut Orientation
When making reference to the “split” wheel options shown in Section 1.5.2.6; namely the:
SR460 forklift truck tyre
SR620 wide forklift truck tyre
SR820 optional forklift truck tyre
It is important when removing these wheels to ensure that the wheel/hub nuts are loosened; rather than the
split rim nuts so the wheel rim does not split apart during work/transport to and from the work site; causing
danger to the operators, bystanders and the machine. See Figure 5.74 for guidance for the correct nuts to
loosen.
