REMOVING SPARE WHEEL AND TIRE FROM TIRE CARRIER
(M915, M916, AND M915A1) - CONTINUED
WARNING
Ensure winch cable drum has a minimum of four full turns
of cable prior to lifting spare wheel and tire assembly.
Failure to comply may result in cable pulling off cable drum
and injury to personnel or damage to equipment. Seek
medical attention in the event of an injury.
Ensure wheel and tire assembly does not suddenly drop from
truck by guiding it down between fuel tank and fender.
Failure to comply could cause winch cable to snap and
injury to personnel or damage to equipment may result. Seek
medical attention in the event of an injury.
NOTE
Ensure cable is paying out when turning handle
counterclockwise or handle will unscrew and winch will
become inoperative.
The winch automatically brakes when pressure is taken off
handle regardless of which direction it is being turned. If
slack is needed to secure cable around wheel and tire
assembly, you must pull on the cable and turn the handle in
a counterclockwise direction at the same time. Do not pull
out more cable than needed.
This step requires two personnel.
5. Remove wheel and tire assembly (Figure 6, Item 1) from spare tire carrier
(Figure 6, Item 3) and place on spare tire carrier side panel (Figure 6, Item 5).
6. Take up slack in winch cable (Figure 6, Item 2) by turning winch handle
(Figure 6, Item 4) in clockwise direction.
7. While guiding spare tire assembly (Figure 7, Item 3) over fuel tank
(Figure 7, Item 5) and fender, turn winch handle
(Figure 7, Item 2) counterclockwise and lower spare tire assembly
(Figure 7, Item 3) to ground.
8. Remove winch cable (Figure 7, Item 1) from wheel and tire assembly
(Figure 7, Item 3) and leave winch cable (Figure 7, Item 1) payed out for storing
