13.5 Changing a Wheel
13.5.1 General Instructions
The spare wheel is in the living area with Puck L 225 GT and it is under the rear with all other models.
Use a commercial scissor-type jack to change the wheel.
The caravan must be on level, firm ground, secure from slipping.
Before jacking up the caravan, firmly apply the handbrake.
Prevent the caravan from rolling away by blocking the opposite wheel with the wheel
chocks.
Under no circumstances jack the caravan with the fitted corner steadies.
Position the vehicle jack underneath the axle rather than on the bodywork.
Whilst the caravan is in a jacked up position, persons should not lie down under it.
> Do not damage the thread of the thread bolts when changing the wheel.
> Tighten the wheel bolts cross-wise (Fig. 101). For tightening torque see section Tight-
ening Torque.
> When changing wheels (e. g. light metal wheel rims or wheels with winter tyres), use
the correct wheel bolts of the correct length and shape. The firm seating of the wheels
and the function of the braking system depend on this.
> Wheel rims and tyres not permitted for use with the caravan by HYMER AG can jeop-
ardize road safety.
> Protect the caravan according to national regulations, e. g. with a warning triangle.
> Before changing the wheel, check the wheel rim and tyre size, the max. tyre load and
the speed index on the tyres. Only use the wheel rim and tyre sizes stated in the vehi-
cle documents.
