4. Air hoses to be checked for abrassions and potential damage before and
after the task is completed.
5. Check the pressure gauges for correct pressure indications and any
other type of faults. If found faulty, the equipment should be removed from
service.
6. Loosen rim retaining nuts with impact gun making sure to leave all
retaining nuts with a minimum of a full nut depth of thread.
7. Remove tension from wheel cleats using jacking bolts.
8. Finish removing nuts and cleats from wheel assembly.
9. Remove wheel and tyre assembly in approved sequence
10. Ensure the removed tyre is either laid flat on the floor in an appropriate

atmosphere to develop in the tyre due to the decomposition of the tyre
rubber.
14. Do not apply heat.
