Current Warning Note
WARNING: If a hoist is not available and only one wheel is allowed to rotate, drive wheel spin must be limited to 55 KM/H (35 MPH) as indicated on the speedometer. Drive wheel spin exceeding 55 KM/H (35 MPH) could result in tire disintegration, differential failure, and/or constant velocity joint and halfshaft failure, which would cause serious personal injury and extensive vehicle damage.
FIGURE 12:
New Revised Warning Note
WARNING: If only one DRIVE wheel is allowed to rotate, speed must be limited to 55 KM/H (35 MPH) indicated on the speedometer SINCE ACTUAL WHEEL SPEED WILL BE TWICE THAT INDICATED ON THE SPEEDOMETER. Speed exceeding 55 KM/H (35 MPH) or ALLOWING THE DRIVE WHEEL TO HANG UNSUPPORTED (Figure 12) could result in tire disintegration, differential failure, and/or constant velocity joint and halfshaft failure, which could cause serious injury and extensive vehicle damage.
