8-4.1. RADIAL TIRE, WHEEL, AND RUBBER RUNFLAT MAINTENANCE (24-STUD) (Cont’d) d. Assembly WARNING Never use tubes in wheel assemblies. Use of a tube defeats built- in safety features, and may allow the wheel to come apart under pressure, resulting in serious injury or death. Use only replacement parts specified in TM 9-2320-387-24P for radial tires. Never install radial tire components on eight-bolt rims. Wheels assembled with components not specified for radial tires could cause the assembly to separate under pressure, resulting in serious injury or death. Do not use compressor strap if it is frayed or damaged. Ensure runflat is free of grease and runflat compressor strap is centered on runflat. Failure to do so could cause injury to personnel. NOTE Perform steps 1 and 2 when using runflat compressor P/N J39250. Perform steps 3 and 4 when using runflat compressor P/N 528236. 1. Position runflat compressor (8) on runflat (7) so that runflat compressor hex-drive (9) is facing up and strap (10) is centered around runflat (7). NOTE Compress runflat by rotating hex-drive in either direction. Rotate hex-drive opposite to loosen. 2. Using runflat compressor (8), compress runflat (7). 3. Position runflat compressor (11) on an outer edge of runflat (7) with handle assembly (12) facing up and strap (13) centered around runflat (7). NOTE Compress runflat by rotating the handle assembly in a clockwise direction. Rotate handle assembly counterclockwise to loosen. 4. Using runflat compressor (11), compress runflat (7).
