Before

Radial Tires

and Wheels

CAUTION

• Rust near wheel nuts can mean

low torque.

• Check wheels (inner/outer) and

hubcaps for grease leakage. When

leakage is initially found, clean off

all grease and recheck after

operation. If grease leakage is still

evident, notify Organizational

Maintenance.

• Failure to comply could cause

damage to equipment.

NOTE

• All wheel flange nuts have right-

hand threads.

• Cold radial tire pressure should be

115 psi (793 kPa) for all tires.

a. Inspect tires, including spare, for

proper inflation, unusual tread wear,

sidewall damage, cuts, foreign objects,

valve stem damage, valve caps, and loose/

missing dust shield plugs on wheels.

Tires are not properly inflated, are

damaged, or show unusual wear.

WARNING

Make sure spare tire and wheel

assembly is secured in carrier and

securing hardware is present.

Failure to secure the spare tire may

result in the spare tire falling off of

trailer, causing injury or death to

personnel.

b. Check that spare tire is secure and

securing hardware is present.

Securing hardware is

unserviceable or missing.

c. Check wheels for damaged rims, and

rust.

Wheel rims are damaged or rusty.

d. Check for loose or missing wheel

nuts. Notify Organizational Maintenance.

All the nuts must be present and torqued

to specifications.
