Wheel Changing
SPARE WHEEL
CHANGING THE WHEEL
If possible, choose a safe place to stop away
from the main thoroughfare. Always ask your
passengers to get out of the vehicle and wait in
a safe area away from other traffic.
NOTE: Switch on the hazard warning lights to
alert other road users.
Before changing a wheel, ensure the front
wheels are in the straight ahead position, apply
the parking brake and engage Park ‘P’ in the
main gearbox and select ‘L’ in the transfer box.
Turn off the starter switch and remove the key.
Observe the following precautions:
•
Ensure the jack is positioned on firm, level
ground; NEVER on soft ground, or over
metal gratings or manhole covers. DO NOT
place additional material between the jack
and the ground, this may jeopardise the
safety of the jacking operation.
H4428
Use the wheel nut wrench to remove the nuts
securing the spare wheel to the carrier and then
lift off the wheel.
•
•
•
Place chocks at the front and rear of the
wheel diagonally opposite the one to be
removed.
NOTE: DO NOT use the spare wheel securing
nuts in place of the road wheel nuts, or use the
road wheel nuts to secure the spare wheel - the
nuts are not inter-changeable.
If jacking the vehicle on a slope is
unavoidable, place the chocks on the
downhill side of the two opposite wheels.
NEVER raise the vehicle with passengers
inside, or with a caravan or trailer
connected!
WARNING
The wheels are extremely heavy. Take care
when lifting and particularly when removing
the spare wheel from its mounting position on
the tail door.
WARNING
Before raising the vehicle, it is ESSENTIAL to
chock the road wheels in two places; the
handbrake acts on the transmission, not on
the rear wheels, and therefore may not hold
the vehicle when raised.
