31.1 Tyre Pressure Settings
Tyre pressures will not need to be adjusted by staff at FTL Ltd
unless they have management permission. All adjustments will be
carried out by Tructyre or an approved third party tyre fitter.

Do not inflate damaged tyres as there is a risk of explosion

Please also refer to section 42 Compressed Air Safety in this
Manual for safety information on using compressed air.

31.2 “Wheel Off” Alert Card

After every wheel removal a Driver Warning card will be left on your vehicle to remind you
that the wheel has been changed and will require a wheel torque check to be carried out.
Please keep a copy and return it to the office on your return.

31.3 Wheel Nuts Re-Torque

After a wheel has been changed and the wheel nuts re-torqued, the wheel nuts need to be
rechecked again after 30 minutes.

They must also be visually checked as part of the daily/weekly checks
