Selecting Front Tire Rolling Direction

CAUTION: Remove wheels safely.

• Use a safe lifting device and support machine securely on jack stands.
• Block front and rear of wheel not raised to prevent machine movement.
• Wheel can be heavy or difficult to handle when removing.

Machines equipped with directional type tires (such as bar tires) have directional arrows located on the tire sidewall. Under most conditions, tires should be installed with the directional arrow pointing in the direction of travel.

If machine is mainly used for loader operations, lug direction may be reversed to increase tire life and improve traction while backing out of dirt piles.

Move wheel from one side of machine to the other to change tire rolling direction.
