А Do not loosen the wheel assembly nuts when changing
atire
The wheel assembly is locked in two ways: Hub nut type and nut
type. In the hub nut type wheel assembly, the wheel is installed to
the hub; in the nut type, a wedge ring is inserted between the wheel
and the hub to lock the wheel assembly.
The tire is secured with the side ring and the lock ring.
When removing a tire from the truck, make sure the lock ring is
securely installed; otherwise, the side ring, tire, and wedge ring
might burst out, resulting in a severe accident.
АА Do not loosen bolts and nuts of split rim assembly
* The wheel has hub nuts that secure the wheel to the hub and
rim nuts and bolts that assemble two rims together. When
removing a tire from the truck, do not loosen the bolts and nuts
of the split rim assembly.
If the bolts and nuts of the split rim assembly are removed, the
rims, bolts or nuts might blow off due to the internal pressure of
the tire, to cause a serious personal injury.
* When replacing the rim assembly, install a new rim assembly
with the head of each of the dowel bolts of the rim assembly
pointing outside. (This helps make it difficult to loosen the rim
bolts with the tire attached to the truck. Some bolts have a special
shape for this purpose.)
• After replacing tires, test run the truck to check to see if the hub
nuts are securely tightened. If a loose hub nut is found, tighten
it to the specified torque.
INSPECTION AND SERVICE
А WARNING
Cautions to be taken when using the jack
Do not enter under the truck while it is jacked up. The
truck might fall, getting you caught under it.
е Before jacking up the truck, remove the loads from the
truck.
• When jacking up the truck, the operator must leave the
truck.
• Lift the truck a little off the ground surface and put
supports at both sides of the frame to prevent the truck
from falling.
• Before jacking up, block the wheels to prevent them from
rotating unexpectedly.
e Lifting the truck must be performed only by qualified
personnel (for crane or slinging work).
e The truck must be lifted by attaching wire ropes to the
designated parts.
* Use strong wire ropes
Make sure the wire ropes are strong enough to lift the
truck and free from damage.
Аһ Cautions to be taken when handling batteries
* If electrolyte gets on your skin, flush it off with a copious
amount of water
The battery electrolyte contains dilute sulfuric acid, a very
corrosive material. It can destroy most things it touches. It will
cause painful and serious burns if it gets on the skin. It can
cause blindness if it gets into eyes. If battery electrolyte comes
in contact with the skin or clothing, wash it away immediately
with a copious amount of water.
If electrolyte gets into your eyes, get medical attention
If electrolyte gets into your eyes, flush it off immediately with a
copious amount of water and get medical attention.
