Remove Tire From Wheel
WARNING
Make sure all of the air pressure is removed from the
tire before a wheel is disassembled. Air pressure in the
tires can cause the tire and rim parts to explode caus-
ing serious injury or death.
Keep tire tools in firm contact with the wheel parts. If
the tool slips, it can move with enough force to cause
an injury.
NOTE: There are several types of wheels used on these lift
trucks. When disassembling wheels, see Figure 45.
1. If wheel rim is a three- or
four-piece rim, turn the valve
1/4 turn and remove valve
from wheel.
2. Put wheel and tire assem-
bly on the press. Position the
feet of the press on the loose
flange. Push press down on
loose flange to expose the
locking ring.
3. Remove the loose flange
locking ring and the advance
band (four-piece wheel only)
using a tire tool.
