WARNING! 
     
Do not re-use any fasteners that are worn or 
deformed in normal use. 
     Some fasteners are designed to be used only 
once, and are unreliable and may fail if used 
a second time. This includes, but is not 
limited to, nuts, bolts, washers, circlips and 
cotter pins. Always follow the 
recommendations in this manual-replace 
these fasteners with new parts where 
indicated, and any other time it is deemed 
necessary by inspection. 
     
Notes:  
     The approved wheel/tire combinations had not 
been finalized at the time of printing of this 
Repair Manual. 
     For safety reasons, the tires should be replaced 
in pairs for one axle at a time or for both axles 
together; not individually. 
     Always install tires with the deepest tread on 
the front axle.
