Never enter the area directly under the tanker and stand clear of the
danger zone when the wheel is removed
Prop axle with heavy duty axle stands as close as possible to the wheel
that is to be removed. Make sure the placing of the axle stand is the very
first part of the procedure and make sure the axle stand pins are of
correct specification.
Do not exceed the rated capacity of the axle stand. The weight that will
need to be jacked up will not exceed 2000kgs provided the slurry tanker
has been emptied properly.
Do not lift tanker off the ground by top crane hook when changing a
wheel.
Do not use a trolley jack or bottle jack when changing a wheel as they will
not have sufficient travel height.
