FOLLOW-ON TASK: Install wheel (TM 9-2320-387-24-1).

WARNING

• Never inflate a wheel assembly before checking wheel locknut

torques to ensure the wheel locknuts are tightened to

specifications. An assembly with improperly tightened locknuts

could separate under pressure, resulting in serious injury or

death.

• Always use an OSHA approved tire inflation cage for inflation

purposes. Stand on one side of the cage during inflation, never

directly in front. Keep hands out of cage during inflation. Inflate

assembly to recommended pressure, using a clip-on air chuck. Do

not exceed 50 psi (345 kPa) cold inflation pressure. Failure to

follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.

Place tire assembly (5) in safety cage and inflate front and rear tires to recommended tire pressure

(TM 9-2320-387-10).
