Multi-Piece and Single-Piece Rim Wheels - Servicing Equipment |
||||||
|
Once protective equipment is checked for defects, multi-piece
rim wheel components and single-piece
rim wheels must be inspected prior to assembly. Any wheel or wheel component that is
bent out of shape, pitted from corrosion, broken, or cracked must be marked or tagged
"unserviceable" and removed from the service area. Damaged or leaky valves must
be replaced. Rim flanges, rim gutters, rings, and the bead-seating areas of wheels must be free of any dirt, surface rust, scale, or loose or flaked rubber buildup prior to tire mounting and inflation. The size and type of the tire and wheel must be checked for compatibility prior to assembly. Mismatching of half sizes such as 16-inch and 16.5 inch tires and wheel must be avoided. Multi-piece wheel components must not be interchanged except as indicated in the applicable charts or rim manuals. |
