Rotation of wheels

Rotation of wheels (each 12 000 km of a run or time in 6 months)

Rotation of wheels has to be made regularly according to the schedule of routine maintenance of the car, and also at identification of signs of uneven wear of protectors. At rotation the car has to be lifted above the ground - take an opportunity and check also a condition of components of the brake system (see the Section Check of the Brake System).

Authors of this manual recommend to make rotation of the wheels equipped with radial tires according to the offered scheme. The majority of models are completed with tires with the directed protector, - it is easy to distinguish the directed tires on existence on a sidewall of the arrow specifying the right direction of rotation of a wheel. Two tires with the right direction of rotation and two - with left have to be included in the package.

The recommended order of rotation of the wheels completed with S NENAPRAVLENNYM tires a protector

1 — Left forward
2 — Right forward

 


The recommended order of rotation of the wheels completed with tires With the DIRECTED protector

3 — Left back
4 — Right back

 


The detailed description of the procedure of change of wheels is stated in Poddomkrachivaniye's Section and towage (see Introduction to the present manual). Track reliability of fixing of the car in the lifted situation.

It will be most correct to lift above the ground all car, - use the winch, or the car and install to a poddomkratta it on the props got under frame longerons (use for fixing of the car in the lifted situation less than four props is inadmissible by no means!).

Upon completion of rotation check pressure of a rating of tires, correct it according to standard requirements. Make sure of reliability of fastening of wheels nuts (ideally wheel nuts should be tightened a dynamometer key and to make repeated check through 40 km [25 miles] of a run).

More detailed information on wheels and tires is stated in the Head Podvesk and steering of the present manual.
