Wheels and Tires: Service Precautions
Safety Precautions
WARNING: Never run the engine with one wheel off the ground, for example, when changing a tire. The wheel(s) resting on the ground could cause the vehicle to move. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING: The tire and wheel must always be correctly matched. It is very important to determine the size of each component before any assembly operations commence. Failure to adhere to these instructions can result in an explosive separation and cause serious bodily injury or death.
WARNING: Aftermarket aerosol tire sealants are extremely flammable. Always question the customer to make sure these products have not been used. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING: Aftermarket wheel assemblies may not be compatible with the vehicle. Use of incompatible wheel assemblies can result in equipment failure and possible injury. Use only approved wheel assemblies. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING: Use only wheels and wheel nuts that have been designed for current model Ford trucks. Aftermarket wheels or wheel nuts may not fit or function correctly. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury. WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or a face shield when performing any work with the tire and wheel assemblies. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
