5.5.1 Removing Wheel and Tire Assembly
from Vehicle
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface. Level the
vehicle, ground the attachment, place the travel
select lever in the (N) NEUTRAL position, place the
neutral lock lever in the (N) NEUTRAL LOCK
position, engage the parking brake switch, straighten
all wheels and shut the engine OFF.
2. Place an Accident Prevention Tag on both the
ignition key switch and steering wheel, stating that
the vehicle should not be operated. (Refer to Section
1.5, “Accident Prevention Tag Usage.”)
3. If the vehicle has dual batteries, disconnect both
negative battery cables (1 and 2) from both
batteries.
To access the lower battery (3), loosen the knob (4)
far enough so that the lip (5) on the upper battery box
clears the knob. Lift up the upper battery box (6) and
swing it out, so that the box clears the hydraulic tank
support bracket, to gain access to the lower negative
battery cable (1). Disconnect the lower negative
battery cable.
4. Loosen the lug nuts 1/4 to 1/2 turn only. DO NOT
remove the lug nuts on the wheel and tire assembly
to be removed.
5. Place a suitable jack under the axle pad closest to
the wheel being removed. Raise the vehicle and
position a suitable support beneath the axle. Allow
sufficient room to lower the vehicle onto the support
and to remove the wheel and tire assembly.
6. Lower the vehicle onto the support.
WARNING:
Risk of death or serious per-
sonal injury, if proper safety procedures are
not followed. When removing wheel and tire
assembly from the vehicle, follow the instruc-
tions in the “Wheel Removal Instruction” box
