Wheel changing safety
Before raising the vehicl e, or changing a wheel
ensure that you read, and comply with the
following warnings.
WARNINGS
Always find a safe pl ace to stop, off of
the highway and away from traffic.
Ensure that the vehicle is on firm level
ground.
Disconnect traile r/caravan from
vehicle.
Switch on the hazard warning lamps.
Ensure that all passengers, and
animals, are out of the vehicle, and in a
safe place away from the highway.
Place a warning triangle at a suitable
distance behind th e vehicle, facing
towards oncoming traffic.
Ensure that the front wheels are in the
straight ahead positi on, and engage the
steering lock.
Apply the parking br ake, and engage
Park in vehicles fitted with an automatic
transmission.
Apply the parking br ake, and engage
1st or reverse gear in vehicles fitted
with a manual transmission.
Ensure that the jack is on firm level
ground.
Never place anything between the jack
and the ground, or the jack and the
vehicle.
Always chock the whee ls using suitable
wheel chocks. Place the chocks on both
sides of the wheel diagonally opposite the
wheel to be changed.
If jacking the vehicle on a slight slope is
unavoidable, place the chocks on the
downhill side of the two opposite wheels.
Take care when lifting the spare wheel,
and removing the punctured wheel. The
wheels are heavy, and ca n cause injuries if not
handled correctly.
Remove the spare wheel prior to
jacking the vehicle. To avoid
destabilising the vehicle when raised.
Take care when loosening the wheel
nuts. The wheel brace may slip off if not
properly attached, and the wheel nuts may
give way suddenly. Either unexpected
movement may cause an injury.
