Range Rover: Stowing the changed wheel
WARNING
Do not stow the wheel while the vehicle is raised on the jack.
NOTICE
Do not use power tools to raise the spare wheel. Doing so may damage the mechanism.
1. Place the wheel under the vehicle with the styled face uppermost.
2. Place the lifting lug through the center of the wheel, as shown, and locate it
in position.
3. Winch up the wheel using the wheel-hoist mechanism.
4. Continue to wind up, until the mechanism reaches its upper position. This is
indicated by clear physical jerk from the wheel nut brace and an audible noise.
5. Check that the wheel has returned to the same position as the spare wheel was
in before it was removed. If in any doubt, lower the winch slightly, adjust the
wheel position and repeat step 4.
The wheel must be securely retained in its correct position by the winch mechanism,
or it could become loose.
6. Replace the locking cap over the wheel hoist nut. As the underside of the cap
is exposed to the same conditions as the underside of the vehicle, ensure that it
is firmly in place.
Note: If for any reason, the spare wheel is not to be fitted back in its hoist, the wheel hoist should be rewound as follows.
Position the lifting lug level on the cable, and wind up the hoist mechanism until it reaches its uppermost position. This is indicated by a clear physical jerk from the wheel nut brace and an audible noise.
