Wheels and tyres
Wheel rims and tyres not permitted for use with the vehicle by Dethleffs can
jeopardize road safety.
Do not replace wheels cross-wise.
Protect the vehicle according to the national regulations, e.g. with a hazard
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 vehicle documents.
Further information can be found in the instruction manual of the base
vehicle.
14.6 Spare wheel support
Due to its weight and fitted position, the spare wheel can only be raised
or lowered by a very strong person only. Always get a second person to
assist.

Press the clip (Fig. 101,5) against the spare wheel and unhook the holder
(Fig. 101,3).
Move the clip down.
Undo nut (Fig. 101,2) and remove the spare wheel (Fig. 101,1).
14.7 Tyre pressure
Tyres overheat if the tyre pressure is too low. This can cause serious
tyre damage.
Check tyre pressure before a journey or every 2 weeks. Wrong tyre
pressure causes excessive wear and can lead to damage or even to tyre
burst. You can lose control of the vehicle.
Use only valves that are approved for the specified tyre pressure.
Only check the tyre pressure on cold tyres.
The payload and the durability of tyres is directly dependent on the tyre pressure.
Air is a volatile medium. It is unavoidable that it will escape from tyres.
