WARNING
Exercise caution when raising or lowering spare wheel and
tire assembly. All personnel must stand clear during lifting
operations. Should wheel and tire assembly fall over or drop
from lift, serious injury to personnel may result. Failure to
comply may result in injury to personnel. Seek medical
attention in the event of an injury.
CAUTION
In case of a flat on any model vehicle, if tactical situation
permits, immediately stop the vehicle where there will be no
hazard to other traffic or to the crew member changing the
tire. Notify your supervisor as soon as possible so wheel
nuts can be tightened to proper torque value and tire can be
repaired and returned to service. Failure to comply may
result in damage to equipment.
NOTE
Wheels and tires are inspected when performing weekly
Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS),
(WP 0025).
A spare wheel and tire assembly is provided on M915,
M916, and M915A1 vehicles. On these vehicles a tire lift is
provided to raise and lower the spare wheel and tire
assembly from the stowed position.
On M917, M918, M919, and M920 vehicles, no spare is
provided. Should you have a flat, use one of the pusher axle
wheel and tire assemblies as a spare.
If you should have a flat on the rear of an M918 vehicle,
reduce speed as much as practical and notify your supervisor
as soon as possible. If you should have a flat on one of the
front tires of an M918 vehicle, exchange the flat tire with
one of the outside rear duals.
