300Vehicle care2. Install the wheel wrench(depending on vehicle, attach
wheel wrench to adapters)
ensuring that it is located securely
and loosen each wheel bolt / nut
by half a turn.
3. Vehicles with Front-wheel drive:
If equipped, attached heightener
to lifting pad when changing a
front wheel.
Raise vehicle by placing lifting
pad spigot of the jack (vehicle
tools 3 290) under the jacking
hole located nearest the wheel
concerned.
Ensure the jack is positioned
correctly. The jack base must be
on the ground directly below the
jacking hole in a manner that
prevents it from slipping.
Attach wheel wrench onto the jack
and raise the vehicle by turning
the wrench until the wheel is clear of the ground.
Vehicles with Rear-wheel drive:
Pay attention to the operating
instructions supplied with the
hydraulic jack (vehicle tools
3 290) and assemble the parts
required as specified.
Position the adapter at the jacking
hole located nearest the wheel
concerned.
Ensure the jack is positioned
correctly. The jack head must be
level with the jacking hole. Pump
the jack by pressing the wheel
wrench / adapters, to position the base plate correctly.

Vehicle care301Raise the vehicle by pressing the
wheel wrench until the wheel is
clear of the ground.
4. Unscrew wheel bolts / nuts completely and wipe clean with a
cloth.
Put wheel bolts / nuts somewhere
where the threads will not be
soiled.
5. Change the wheel.
6. Screw in the wheel bolts / nuts. Separately supplied bolts must beused for the temporary spare
wheel. These are allowed only for the temporary spare wheel. Refer
to an label on the temporary spare
wheel.
7. Lower vehicle.
8. Install the wheel wrench (depending on vehicle, attach
wheel wrench to adapters)
ensuring that it is securely located and tighten each wheel bolt / nut
in a crosswise sequence.
Tightening torque is: 172 Nm
(Front-wheel drive), 235 Nm(Rear-wheel drive with twin rear
wheels), 264 Nm (Rear-wheel
drive with single rear wheels).
9. Refit wheel cover. Rear-wheel drive, with twin rear
wheels: Install the tyre valve
extender to the inner rear wheel
before refitting the wheel cover.
Note
If applicable, fit anti-theft bolts
nearest the tyre valve (otherwise it
may not be possible to refit the wheel
cover).
10. Stow the replaced wheel 3 301
and the vehicle tools 3 290.
11. Have the new wheel balanced on the vehicle. Check the tyre
pressure of the installed tyre
3 317 and also the wheel bolt /
nut torque as soon as possible.
Have the defective tyre renewed or
repaired.
Spare wheel
The spare wheel can be classified as
a temporary spare wheel depending
on the size compared to the othermounted wheels and country
regulations. In this case a permissible maximum speed applies, even
though no label at the spare wheel
indicates this.Caution
The use of a spare wheel that is smaller than the other wheels or in
combination with winter tyres
could affect driveability. Have the
defective tyre replaced as soon as
possible.
The spare wheel is held under the
vehicle frame using a winch and
secured by tightening a cable using
the wheel wrench and adapters
(depending on vehicle).
It may be necessary to jack the
vehicle up to gain access to the spare
wheel on a fully loaded vehicle with a flat rear tyre.
Page 304 of 353

302Vehicle care
To release the spare wheel, loosen
cable by connecting the wheel
wrench and adapters (depending on
vehicle) to the slot position illustrated
and lower the wheel fully by turning
wrench clockwise.
Caution
Only use the wheel wrench and
adapters (depending on vehicle)
to lower the spare wheel.
The use of pneumatic tools is
prohibited. This may result in
damage to the winch cable and
equipment.
Place wheel upright, unclip retainer
from wheel rim and release the wheel
from the cable and connected
retainer by routing these components through the centre of the wheel.
Twin rear wheel vehicles have an
additional mounting plate attached to
the spare wheel. Before using the
wheel, undo the nut and remove the
mounting plate.When reinstalling a spare wheel, first
attach the mounting plate (twin rear
wheel vehicles) and secure with the
nut.
Place wheel upright, then route the
cable and connected retainer from
the front of the wheel (side with tyre
valve) and through the centre of the
wheel. Attach the retainer and clip it
into place, ensuring it is correctly
positioned and that the front of the
wheel (side with tyre valve) will be
facing upwards when reinstalled.
Page 305 of 353

Vehicle care303
Place wheel below the vehicle frame,
directly beneath the winch
mechanism.
Then tighten cable using the wheel
wrench and adapters by connecting
to the slot position illustrated above
and turning wrench anticlockwise
until the wheel is secured in the fully
raised position.
Note
Do not place a wheel with aluminium rim under the vehicle frame.9 Warning
Ensure the front of the wheel (side
with tyre valve) is facing upwards
when the spare wheel is
reinstalled below the vehicle
frame.
Temporary spare wheel
Caution
The use of a spare wheel that is smaller than the other wheels or in combination with winter tyres
could affect driveability. Have the defective tyre replaced as soon as
possible.
Only mount one temporary spare
wheel. Do not drive faster than
80 km/h. Take curves slowly. Do not use for a long period of time.
Separately supplied bolts must be
used for the temporary spare wheel.
These are allowed only for the
temporary spare wheel. Refer to an
label on the temporary spare wheel.
Tyre chains 3 295.
Summer and winter tyres
If you use winter tyres, the spare
wheel may still be fitted with a
summer tyre.
If you use the spare wheel when it is
fitted with a summer tyre the vehicle's driveability may be affected,
especially on slippery road surfaces.
Directional tyres Fit directional tyres such that they rollin the direction of travel. The rolling
direction is indicated by a symbol
(e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.

Secure heavy objects with lashing
straps attached to the lashing eyes.
Caution
The maximum force applied to the
lashing eyes should not exceed
4000 N or 8000 N at 30°.
Refer to the safety warning labels
located on the tipper or dropside
body.
Additional cargo strap retainers are

Tipper operation
9 Warning
Before operating the tipper, apply
the parking brake and select
neutral gear position.
The operator must remain at the
control to ensure tipping and
lowering are performed correctly.
Keep other people away when
tipping function is in use.
Ensure the vehicle is on solid
ground and that the tipper body
can be raised to the maximum
height without touching overhead
obstructions.
The tipper body has two locking pins
which must be always attached while
operating. The locking pins are used
to obtain any one of the three tipping
positions.
Caution
The tipper must not be operated
with locking pins incorrectly
installed.
Pins installed diagonally opposite or in both front pivot positions will
result in damage if tipping is
attempted.
