TIRES AND WHEEL
5
WARNING!
If the hood falls, anyone under it could
be injured. Always make sure that the
hood hold open device engages when
the hood is in its open position any
time anyone gets under the hood for
any reason.
• The hood
could hurt someone
that is in the way of its descent.
Before lowering the hood, be sure
no objects or people are in the
way.
Always support the vehicle with appro-
priate safety stands if it is necessary to
work underneath the vehicle. A jack is
not adequate for this purpose.
WARNING!
WARNING!
Improperly mounting and demounting
tire and rim assemblies is dangerous.
Failure to observe proper precautions
could cause the tire-rim assembly to
burst explosively, causing death or
personal injury. See the wheel manu
-
facturer's literature for the proper way
to mount and demount your tires and
rims. Follow their precautions exactly.
Disc Wheels
WARNING!
Use the correct components and tools
when working on wheels. Grooves in
the wheel disc or other damage to the
disc can weaken the wheel and cause
it to eventually come off. This could
cause you to lose control of your ve
-
hicle, and may result in an accident.
Failure to comply may result in death,
personal injury, equipment or property
damage.
The end of the wheel wrench must
be smooth. Burrs on the end of the
wrench can tear grooves in the disc.
These grooves may lead to cracks in
the disc, and can cause it to fail.
