TIRES AND WHEEL with the disc brake assembly. When installing any replacement wheel, always inspect the tires/wheels to ensure there is adequate clearance between other vehicle components. WARNING! If the hood falls, anyone under it could be injured. Always make sure that the hood hold open device en- gages when the hood is in its open position any time anyone gets under the hood for any reason. Improperly mounting and demount- ing tire and rim assemblies is dan- gerous. Failure to observe proper precautions could cause the tire-rim assembly to burst explosively, caus- ing death or personal injury.
See the wheel manufacturer's literature for the proper way to mount and de- mount your tires and rims. Follow their precautions exactly. WARNING! With the hood open, check for clearance between the wheel and disc brake assembly. Use a hydraulic jack to raise the front of the vehicle off the ground to allow the wheel to spin freely. While rotating the wheel, check to ensure there is adequate clearance between the wheel and disc brake assembly. The hood could hurt someone that is in the way of its descent. Before lowering the hood, be sure no objects or people are in the way. Always support the vehicle with ap- propriate safety stands if it is neces- sary to work underneath the vehicle.
A jack is not adequate for this pur- pose. WARNING! 5 (03/17) Y53-6077-1B1 5-149
