WARNING

Jack must be positioned directly under axle to prevent slippage.

Direct all personnel to stay clear of vehicle when vehicle is

supported in the air. Failure to do so could result in serious

injury and damage to equipment.

To prevent shifting of trailer, floor jack should be used only on a

hard, level surface.

The spare tire and wheel weigh 179 lbs. (81.2 kg). This requires

two people to remove the spare from the carrier or install it on

the carrier. Slide the spare from the carrier or on to the

carrier--refrain from lifting the spare into position. Failure to do

so could result in injury.

NOTE

Wheel replacement in the form of tire -changing is also an

Operator task. If floor jacks and jack stands are not available,

use Basic Issue 12-ton (10.9 metric ton) jack.

There are eight tire and wheel assemblies and they are

removed and installed the same way. This procedure covers

one wheel assembly.

For detailed procedures and/or instructions see referenced "H"
