PRECAUTIONS
EN08Z0904C100002

! CAUTION
Failure to comply with the following procedures may result in faulty positioning of the tire and/or rim parts, and
can cause the assembly to burst with a explosive force sufficient to cause serious physical injury or death.

1. DEFLATION AND DISASSEMBLY

(1) Always check the tire/rim assembly for the proper components seating prior to the removal from the vehicle.
(2) Always deflate the tire by removing the valve core prior to removing the wheel from vehicle or disassembling of the
components.
(3) Never position your body in front of the rim during deflation.
(4) Always follow the assembly and disassembly procedures outlined in this instruction manual and obtain safety litera-
ture from the Authorities.
(5) Never use a steel hammer to assemble or disassemble the rim components. Use a lead, brass, or plastic type mallet.

2. RIM INSPECTION
(1) Always select the proper tire size and construction to match the rim or wheel rating and size.
(2) Never use damaged, worn, or corroded rims, wheels, or mounting hardware.
(3) Always clean and repaint lightly rusted rims.
(4) Never use a rim or wheel component you cannot identify.

3. ASSEMBLY AND INFLATION

(1) Always perform the double check to see that the removable rings are properly seated before inflating.

cardiagn.com
(2) Always inflate the tire in a safety cage or use a portable lock ring guard. Use a clip-on type air chuck with a remote
valve so that you can stand clear during the tire inflation.
(3) Never attempt to seat the rings while the tire is totally or partially inflated.
(4) Never re-inflate or add inflation pressure to a tire that has been run flat or seriously under inflated without removing
and checking for ring seating and rim damage.
(5) Tire pressure should be checked while cold. Do not bleed air from tires while hot. This will result in an under inflated
condition. Under inflated tires build up excessive heat due to overdeflection that may result in sudden tire deteriora-
tion, causing severe handling problems.
(6) Never use an assembly with excessive side ring play, wide gaps between ring ends, or butting ring ends.
(7) Never hammer on the components of an inflated or partially inflated assembly.
 WHEEL & TIRE AX04–13

INSPECTION
EN08Z0904H300001

1. GENERAL INSPECTION
(1) Check the tire tread wear (groove depth) and tire damage. If the
slip sign on the tire tread comes out, replace the tire.
Groove depth (Remaining groove)
General running: 1.6 mm {0.063 in.}
High-speed running: 3.2 mm {0.126 in.}

SHTS08Z090400011

(2) Check the air pressure.

If improper, inflate the tire to the proper pressure as previously
described in this chapter.

cardiagn.com
SHTS08Z090400012

2. CHECK RUNOUT IN THE TIRE AND WHEEL RIM.

NOTICE
Eliminate any flat spots in the tire by driving the vehicle a little.
(1) Jack up the vehicle and the check the runout in the tire and wheel
rim.
Unit: mm {in.}
Tire Wheel rim
Lateral runout Less than 3.5 {0.138} Less than 1.8 {0.071}
Radial runout Less than 2.5 {0.098} Less than 1.8 {0.071}

SHTS08Z090400013

(2) If the wheel rim does not conform to the runout limits, try re-
mounting the wheel in a different position.
(3) If the wheel rim is still not within 1.8 mm {0.072 in.} of runout, then
replace it with a new rim.
(4) If the tire does not conform to runout standards, reinstall it in dif-
ferent position on the rim.

3. WHEEL AND TIRE BALANCING.

(1) Driving with a rim or tire that is unbalanced may cause the vehicle
and steering wheel to shimmy, and will produce an abnormal tire
wear.
In this situation, we recommend that you should balance the
SHTS08Z090400014
wheels.
• Static balancing
This is relatively effective when operating at low speeds; however,
if operating at high speeds, dynamic balancing is recommended.
• Dynamic balancing
Please balance the wheels, using a balancing machine.

! WARNING
SHTS08Z090400041 The specified torque should be referred to the torque tightening
wheel nuts. Tightening it with incorrect can cause the wheel to
come off while driving. This can result in physical injury and/or
property damage due to the loss of vehicle control.
When the vehicle, wheels, or wheel nuts are new, the wheel nuts
should be checked and tightened with specified torque at 50-100
km {30-60 miles} since they may not be well tightened. The tight-
ening torque should be checked with the proper torque wrench.

2. THE FOLLOWING ORDER AND INSTRUCTIONS ARE NECES-

SARY FOR INSTALLING THE DUAL TIRES.
(1) Installation procedures for the inner wheel nuts are the same as in
1. through 4. above.
(2) Installation procedures for the outer wheel nuts are the same as
above.
(3) When only the outer wheel is replaced, first tighten all the inner
wheel nuts to the specified torque. Then mount the outer wheel
and tighten all the outer wheel nuts to the specified torque.
NOTICE
• Install the dual rear wheels with their valve stems positioned
at 180 degrees apart to facilitate inflation.
• Tighten all the inner nuts and outer nuts according to the
above-mentioned procedures.

3. WHEEL AND TIRE BALANCING

(1) Driving with a rim or tire that is unbalanced may cause the vehicle
and steering wheel to shimmy, and will produce an abnormal tire
wear.
In this situation, we recommend that you should balance the
wheels.
• Static balancing
This is relatively effective when operating at low speeds; however,
if operating at high speeds, dynamic balancing is recommended.
• Dynamic balancing
Please balance the wheels, using a balancing machine.
