FedEx Tire Manual – Last Revised June 2008 1 – Purchasing 1-10: Frequently Asked Questions - Goodyear Tires 5

1-10: Frequently Asked Questions - Goodyear Tires

DOUBLE SHIPMENT ON TIRES Q) I received tires from the local dealer, and I also received a shipping notification in e-mail that my order will be delivered in three days. Can the tires coming via the Goodyear Direct Ship Program be stopped/cancelled? A) No, the delivery can not be stopped because the e-mails are sent the day after shipping and the tires are already on a truck in route. However, the problem can be resolved. You must receive the tires when FedEx Ground delivers them. You now have two options: keep the tires or ship them back. If you can't use them, speak with your manager to see if another shop needs the tires because you will have to pay return shipping fees. To ship the tires back, follow the below procedures: 1. Call Marge Black with Goodyear at 1-888-339-6231 to request a Returned Goods Authorization (RGA). She will need to know the tire order #, pick up address, quantity being returned, product code, and your name, phone #, and fax number. 2. She will fax you a copy of the RGA. 3. Make copies of the RGA and tape one to the inside of EACH tire being returned to ensure proper routing and crediting by the Goodyear Warehouse. 4. Generally, Marge will contact FedEx Ground to pick up the tires. You may opt to return them using your non-rev account, but if you choose to do so, you must inform Marge to avoid FedEx Ground from showing up for tires that aren't there.

ORDERED WRONG OR WRONG TIRES SHIPPED Q) What do I do if Goodyear sends me an incorrect tire or if I order the wrong size tire and it is shipped to me? A) If the tire is a retread or new tire ordered from your local dealer, you should contact the local dealer to resolve the issue. If the tire(s) were shipped through the Direct Ship Program, delivered by FedEx Ground, the issue must be handled with Goodyear in Akron, OH. Follow the instructions below to correct the problem: Whether you ordered the wrong new tires or Goodyear shipped the wrong ones, we must always accept the tires. By refusing tires, we lose tracking ability and the tires end up floating in the FedEx Ground system. You'll have two choices: keep the tires or send them back. If your shop can't use the tires, talk to your manager to see if another shop can use them. Your shop will be charged freight back to Akron if you return the tires. To return the incorrect tires, call Marge Black at Goodyear in Akron at 1-888-339-6231 and request a Returned Goods Authorization (RGA). She will need the address where the tires are to be picked up from, your order #, telephone #, and fax #. Marge will schedule the pick-up with FedEx Ground. If you ordered the wrong size, you will pay the returned freight charges; however, if Goodyear shipped the wrong tires, Goodyear pays. When you receive the faxed RGA from Marge, MAKE COPIES AND TAPE ONE TO THE INSIDE OF EACH TIRE YOU ARE RETURNING, and keep a copy for your records. If the tires are NOT picked up within 7 business days, call 1-888-339-6231, ask for Marge Black. Leave your name, order #, RGA #, phone # and fax # and she will promptly contact you.

LATE SHIPMENTS Q) Where are my tires? A) For retreads or local emergency orders, contact your dealer directly. If the tires shipped via FedEx Ground are late/lost (over three days late from the delivery of other tires on the same Delivery Receipt), you should first obtain the tracking numbers by one of two ways. It is quicker if you can find a FedEx Ground tracking label/ sticker on at least one of the tires of that shipment. The FedEx Ground tracking numbers usually start with 02799…. If you find

FedEx Tire Manual – Last Revised June 2008 1 – Purchasing 1-10: Frequently Asked Questions - Goodyear Tires 6

one, call (800) 762-3725, and FedEx Ground can find all of the tracking numbers based upon that one, by zip code, and can tell you who signed for them. If you can not find the tracking label, then contact Marge Black with Goodyear by e-mail at [email protected] or at 1-888-339-6231 and give her the tire order number, what was missing, and your name and phone number. It takes about a day to get the tracking numbers, and she'll call or e-mail them back to you. You will then have to call FedEx Ground to get delivery information. Lastly, you will need to file a claim if the tires are indeed lost. See Filing Claims – Tires Lost in Shipment this chapter.

FILING WARRANTY ON TIRES NOT MOUNTED Q) How do I file warranty on a tire that is not mounted on a vehicle? A) To file warranty on a tire that has not been mounted on a vehicle. In place of the asset number on the Repair Order write "TIRE" and the numeric location number (Example: "TIRE 942").

2-5: Tire Warranty (New and Retread)

All FedEx employees must have the required training before they can be authorized to apply for warranty. All Goodyear / Michelin warranty claims must be submitted through the Global Vehicles Warranty department. Under no circumstance are claims for tires/retreads to be submitted directly to a dealer by the location. This can result in not receiving the correct amount of warranty compensation or tracking for quality issues. Warranty claims for other tire/retread suppliers should be handled at the local level. Solideal tires are to be filed with the local Goodyear dealer.

Technician, Fleet Manager (1) Determine if the reason for tire repair or replacement is covered by the manufacturer's warranty. CASING COVERAGE (7 years from date of manufacture of the casing): • Goodyear / Michelin will give full credit on retreading costs during the first 2/32" (1.6mm) (or the first 25% for unicircle retreads) of usable tread wear during the life of the retread, if the retread problem is caused by workmanship or material in the Goodyear / Michelin Unisteel casing. • Retread costs not eligible for full credit are prorated based on the percentage of usable original retread tread worn off at the time of adjustment. RETREADING COVERAGE • Goodyear / Michelin retreads/repairs produced by authorized retreaders on any radial casing and bearing a valid DOT shop number of the authorized retreader are warranted to be free from workmanship/material problems for the life of the retread. • Full credit on retreading or repair costs are issued during the first 2/32" (1.6mm) (or first 25% for unicircle retreads) of usable tread wear if the retread or repair is the cause for the problem. • Retreading or repair costs not eligible for full credit are prorated based on the percentage of usable original retread tread worn off at the time of adjustment. • If the retread is on a Goodyear Unisteel casing, a casing credit will be given. Same applies for Michelin casings

NOTE: If tire failure caused property damage, follow special requirements under Goodyear Property Damage Claim Procedure.

NOTE: If tire failure is on a Michelin tire contact Terri Towns at 901-434-8418 in the Warranty department for assistance with the claim.

(2) Skive out and record DOT numbers Goodyear tires only. Attach to repair Order

NOTE: DO NOT remove the DOT numbers on Michelin tires.

(a) For original treads: • Record the full DOT serial number required for Repair Order entry. • If the unisteel tire casing is retread-able, only skive out part of the DOT serial number Goodyear only, making sure to leave the date code (last 4 digits) on the tire. If the casing is not retreadable, you must skive out the complete serial number Goodyear only. (b) For retreads, in addition to the above: • Skive out the most recent retread serial number, which can be found molded onto the sidewall.Goodyear only • Identify the retread tread design and include this information (with the tire size, description, tread depth and DOT info) in the Warranty section of the Repair Order. (3) Write the asset number on the inside of the tire (4) Find the average depth. Do not take the measurement on the tread wear indicator. Tread wear indicators are marked on the side of the tire by either a triangle or the letters TWI embossed on the side of the tread.

FedEx Tire Manual – Last Revised June 2008 2 – Warranty 2-5: Tire Warranty (New and Retread) 9

NOTE: NOTE: when checking the tread depths on the G647 measure on space bar not on stone ejectors.

Tire Warranty Procedures: Warranty Screen in SFS - Please provide a detailed complaint, cause and correction along with the following information as shown in the attachment: DOT number, Retread DOT number (If applicable), Product Code, Tire size, Type and Tread Depth. See Figure 1 DOT Number - Goodyear requires that we skive the first 8 of the DOT serial number (except for damage claims). Attach the skived number to the RO and place in the asset file. Be sure to leave the remaining 3 or 4 numbers if the tire is retreadable. Michelin does not require the removal of the DOT number. Out of Balance - Remember to use "Tire" in the asset field on the RO for a tire that does not balance (reference section 4-20 of the Tire Manual for balancing procedure). Damage Claim - If a tire comes apart and damages the vehicle, retain the tire, do not skive the DOT and wait for return instructions from The Warranty Dept. We can recover all costs associated with the repair. Tire Retention - Tires are to be held for 30 days from the date the warranty RO is submitted. A notification will be sent with shipping instructions should the tire need to be returned for inspection. After 30 days, please return the tire to the dealer for retread or disposal. Please Note: Casings are covered under warranty for 7 years on steel/steel tires and the retreads are covered on a prorated basis for the life of the retread.

Vendor Location (5) At vendor locations, the approved vendor supplies the fleet manager with information required in steps 1-9 and forwards to the fleet manager or delegate. (6) The fleet manager completes the Warranty Repair Order. (7) Retain the tire at the vendor location or at the station where the vehicle is located. See step 11 for disposal information.

Solideal Warranty Procedures (1) Requests for warranty on Solideal tires are to be filed through your local Goodyear dealer. (2) Complete a Warranty Parts Tag and attach to tire. (3) Contact the local dealer with the failure information. (4) The dealer will replace the tire. If the cause of the failure is warrantable, the tire will be replaced at no charge. (5) To file the warranty Repair Order for the tire, use influence code 03815 on the Repair Order and use a part cost of $.0 (zero) for the tire cost. This information let's the warranty department know the tire was replaced at no cost to FedEx. (6) If the tire is not warrantable the dealer will provide the reason via a call to you or will be written on the invoice for the replacement tire. (7) If you are in disagreement with the warranty rejection, contact the Tire Program Administrator for assistance.

Goodyear Property Damage Claim Procedure When a Goodyear tire failure causes any body/sheetmetal, etc. damage, the following procedures must be taken to process a Goodyear tire warranty damage claim: (1) Save tire until instructed to do otherwise. (2) On the inside of the tire print the asset #, wheel location, date, Alpha/Numeric location and RO#. (3) Pictures are not required to file a property damage claim. (4) DO NOT remove the DOT casing serial number or the DOT recap serial number from the tire. Goodyear has asked that these DOT serial numbers remain intact on the tire for more positive tire identification.

Figure 1 Warranty Parts Tag

FedEx Tire Manual – Last Revised June 2008 2 – Warranty 2-10: DOT Serial Number System 11

2-10: DOT Serial Number System

The Department of Transportation requires tires intended for use on the highway in the U.S., regardless of where manufactured, to have a special DOT serial number. The letters “DOT” must be printed near the serial number indicating that the tire has passed special DOT test requirements.

(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) DOT MA L9 ABCD (a) 039 (b) 0100

(1) DOT — tire meets or exceeds Department of Transportation safety standards (2) MA — code number assigned by DOT to the manufacturing plant (3) L9 — tire size code number (4) ABCD — optional symbols of the manufacturer to identify the brand or other important characteristics of the tire (5a) 039 — date of manufacture; the first 2 numbers indicate the week of the year and the last number indicates the year (e.g., “039” is the third week of 1999) valid through 529 (52nd week of 1999) (5b) 0100 — date of manufacture; the first 2 numbers indicate the week of the year and the last 2 numbers indicate the year, effective beginning with 0100 (1st week of 2000)

RETREAD DOT When a tire is retreaded, the retreader is required to apply a new DOT number on the tire. This number is branded or slugged in the sidewall of the tire near the original tire DOT. If branded, the numbers should be 1/32” (.8mm) deep. The retread DOT number consists of an “R” followed by 3 letters identifying the retreader, followed by a 3- or 4-digit date code.

(1) (2) (3) RLKA(a) 449 (b) 0100

(1) R — retread (2) LKA — retreading plant (3a) 449 — date of retread; the first 2 numbers indicate the week of the year and the last number indicates the year (e.g., “449” is the 44th week of 1999) valid through 529 (52nd week of 1999) (3b) 0100 — date of retread; the first 2 numbers indicate the week of the year and the last 2 numbers indicate the year, effective beginning with 0100 (1st week of 2000)

3-40: Returned as Received (RAR) Casings

The following are causes for casings to be returned as received (RAR):

Code Condition TREAD TR1 Exposed belts (excessive rust) TR4 Separation * SIDEWALL SW1 Fatigue * SW3 Hole (too large to repair) SW4 Separation * SW5 Cracking (too extensive for repair) * SW6 Impact break SW9 Outside of Customer Specifications BEAD BD1 Cuts LINER LR1 Cracks (too extensive for repair) * LR3 Separation * REPAIR RE2 Section (too large, too close, or too many) RE4 Repair failure (unrepairable) * OTHER CONDITIONS RF1 Run flat ADJ Possible adjustment * These conditions may be warrantable.

When these conditions are within warranty guidelines, complete a warranty request with the FedEx Warranty department (for Goodyear casings). For any casing other than a Goodyear casing, file the warranty request with your local authorized vendor. All casings submitted to a Goodyear retreader must be recorded on a Goodyear Retread Work Order (G-85 or equivalent) by the vendor while at your location. When you agree with the total number of casings listed and the tread designs to be applied to each casing listed, have the vendor sign the work order. Keep a legible copy of the work order at your location. When the casings are returned, compare your copy of the work order to the Goodyear delivery receipt in the presence of the vendor. Make sure the total number of retreaded casings, the RAR casings, and the tread designs applied to the casings match. (This may not apply for multiple locations that pool tire casings.) All RAR tires must be retained at the FedEx location or by the vendor until a trained FedEx maintenance employee reviews them. Each tire must be inspected to determine whether the casing should be held at the FedEx location for filing of a warranty claim or transferred to the vendor supply point for disposal. After resolution of warranty claims and the FedEx location is notified, all scrap tires are to be transferred to the vendor supply point for disposal.

FedEx Tire Manual – Last Revised June 2008 4 – Maintenance 4-10: Out-of-Service Conditions 59

4-10: Out-of-Service Conditions

Inspect rims and wheels for damage during the tire checks and at periodic maintenance intervals. Remove and replace defective parts. If the following conditions exist, the vehicle must be removed from service until the condition is corrected.

RIM/WHEEL OUT-OF-SERVICE CONDITIONS • Bent, broken, or improperly seated lock ring on side ring. • Any circumferential crack in rim or disc. The most common areas are cracks at bolt holes, weld bead area common to the disc and rim, rim seam (butt weld), and rim flange. • Weld repairs to rims or wheels. • Bent rim flange. Do not straighten a bent flange; replace the rim if the bead seat is distorted. • Loose, missing, broken, cracked, or stripped fasteners. A good indicator is rust streaks – look for them. • Worn or elongated bolt holes. • Excessive runout (lateral and radial). Refer to section RP 214A-3 of the TMC Recommended Maintenance Practices Manual. NOTE: Clamps and wheel nuts should be checked periodically. Loose wheel nuts can cause excessive wear around bolt holes, dangerous wheel vibration, and metal failure. Overtorquing can cause stud or wheel failure.

TIRE OUT-OF-SERVICE CONDITIONS • Any tire with 20% less than the specified cold inflation pressure is considered flat. This tire must be deflated and removed from service until inspected and repaired. • Running a vehicle with 1 tire of a dual assembly flat. Both tires of a dual assembly must be inflated to the same pressure. • Tires with tread depth below the specified removal criteria, unless superseded by state or local regulations. – Steer tires with less than 4/32nds (3.2mm) – Drive tires with less than 2/32nds (1.6mm) – Trailer tires with less than 2/32nds (1.6mm) • When the tire sidewall has been worn, damaged, cut, or cracked to the extent that ply cord or bead reinforcements are exposed. • Any tire with severe weather cracking {depth in excess of 1/8” (1.6mm)}. • Tires of different construction on the same axle. • Visible bumps, bulges, or knots apparently related to tread or sidewall separation. The maximum a bump or bulge can protrude from the tire casing is 3/8” (4.8mm) when inflated.

CAUTION: NEVER REINFLATE A TIRE THAT HAS BEEN RUN IN A FLAT CONDITION OR OVERLOADED WITHOUT FIRST BREAKING DOWN, DEMOUNTING, AND INSPECTING THE TIRE AND RIM FOR DAMAGE.

FedEx Tire Manual – Last Revised June 2008 4 – Maintenance 4-15: Tire Mounting and Demounting 60

4-15: Tire Mounting and Demounting

Operators must be properly trained before using any tire equipment. Inspect the equipment for proper operation and use only if all equipment is in safe operating condition. The proper signs must be hung in the tire work area and must be visible to anyone performing tire work. Refer to 5-30: Tire Maintenance Safety Posters.

WARNING: ALWAYS USE THE NECESSARY PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) SUCH AS EYE SAFETY PROTECTION, GLOVES, BACK SUPPORTS, ETC.

NOTE: Safe work practices must always be used. Refer to The Maintenance Council (TMC) Recommended Maintenance Practices Manual for additional information. Ensure all tools are in good working condition and free from defects (e.g., burrs, cracked, or broken). Review the operator’s manual for the correct mounting and demounting procedures for the equipment at your location. Do not use excessive force when mounting or demounting tires since damage can result.

REMOVING TIRES FROM SERVICE Write the following information on the sidewall of the tire with a tire crayon or paint stick: • asset number • wheel position • date • station ID (write this inside the casing) — required when RAR casings are returned for possible warranty claims • when a tire has been run flat, write this information on the tire and circle any damaged areas

Demounting (1) Remove the valve core and completely deflate the tire. (2) To ensure the stem is not plugged, use a small wire to probe the stem. (3) Loosen the beads from the rim using an approved bead-breaking tool. (4) Lubricate both beads of the tire using an approved tire bead lubricant. (5) On rims with different size ledges, always demount the tire from the narrow ledge side.

Inspecting Out-of-Service Tires Use a tire spreader to assist in inspecting out-of-service tires. Look for: • bead rubber torn to the fabric or steel • cuts, snags, or chips exposing body cords or steel • ripples or bulges indicating sidewall irregularities (use an indirect light source that produces shadows on the sidewall) • creasing, wrinkling, cracking, or discoloration of the inner liner indicating a run flat condition • other signs of sidewall damage or weakness Feel for: • soft spots in the flexible area of the sidewall • ripples or bulges • protruding filaments indicating broken cords

FedEx Tire Manual – Last Revised June 2008 4 – Maintenance 4-15: Tire Mounting and Demounting 61

Listen for any popping sounds when inspecting for soft spots or when rolling the tire. If any of these conditions is present, the tire should be made unusable by cutting a bead or drilling a 2" hole in the sidewall. If the condition results from a warrantable condition, submit a warranty claim by following the warranty claim procedure. Tires exhibiting tears, cuts, snags, or chips exposing body cords must be referred to a full-service repair facility to determine if the condition is repairable.

Inspecting Out-of-Service Wheels Inspect wheels for the following conditions: • bent, broken, or improperly seated lock rings on multipiece wheels • any circumferential crack in the rim or disc; cracks are most commonly found at bolt holes, weld bead common to the disc and rim, rim seam (butt weld), and rim flange • any repairs to rims or wheels • bent rim flange (do not straighten a bent rim flange; replace the rim) • worn or elongated bolt holes • rust corrosion or pitting; these rims should be reconditioned or scrapped • excessive runout – lateral and radial (refer to section 214A-3 of the TMC Recommended Maintenance Practices Manual).

PLACING TIRES IN SERVICE The following procedures should be followed when returning new, retread, or repaired tires to service: (1) Clean the bead seat and rim flange of the rim to remove dirt, surface rust, and any buildup of lubricant or rubber that may interfere with proper bead seating. (2) Inspect the valve stem and rubber grommets for damage; replace the valve stem if required. When installing a new valve stem or replacing an existing valve stem, ensure that the new stem does not extend past the most outward plane of the tire/rim with the Alligator V2B Inflate Thru valve cap attached. (3) When mounting the tire the DOT serial number should face out so that it can be seen. This is particularly important with steer axle retread tires. (4) Paint the clean rim to prevent new surface rust from developing; use the correct paint for the vehicle type. (5) Paint must not be thicker than .0035". Basically the thickness of an average magazine page. (6) Inspect tire and rim for compatibility.

Mounting Tires All tires must be inflated in the tire cage. Stay out of the trajectory of the tire at any time when adding air. All heavy duty tires must be completely aired up in the tire cage. Any outside repair vendor performing tire work at a FedEx facility must use a tire cage when inflating tires. (1) Apply an approved tire bead lubricant to the beads and bead seat area to ease mounting and reduce the risk of damage to the tire/wheel. (2) Follow the operating instructions for the mounting equipment at your location.

CAUTION: THE USE OF ANY DEVICE, SUBSTANCE, OR CHEMICAL IN FEDEX TIRES IS PROHIBITED UNLESS SUPPLIED BY OEM ON NEW VEHICLES OR APPROVED BY VEHICLE/GSE ENGINEERING.

(3) Inflate the tire to 5 psi to seal the bead to the rim (with valve core removed) by using the lock-on air chuck, jets, or bead seating tool (e.g., Cheetah), and inspect for proper seating of the beads and alignment of the G- G rings. (4) Place the tire in an approved Tire safety cage. • If bead does not fully seat correctly:

FedEx Tire Manual – Last Revised June 2008 4 – Maintenance 4-15: Tire Mounting and Demounting 62

– Deflate the tire. – Reinspect for tire and rim compatibility. – Lube the beads using only an approved rubber lube. – Repeat procedures for seating the beads. – Ensure that G-G ring is evenly spaced around the rim.

WARNING: DO NOT USE ETHER OR OTHER FLAMMABLE MATERIALS TO SEAT THE BEADS OF A TIRE. SERIOUS DAMAGE OR INJURY MAY RESULT. • After seating the beads, adjust the tire pressure to 20 psi (138 KPa) and inspect the tire for ripples or bulges and listen for any popping sounds indicating sidewall damage. If these conditions are present, deflate the tire and remove from service.

WARNING: WHEN INFLATING A TIRE IN THE TIRE CAGE, DO NOT ALLOW ANY PART OF ANY PERSON’S BODY TO CONTACT THE CAGE OR TIRE. POSITION YOURSELF SO THAT YOU ARE NOT IN THE TRAJECTORY OF THE TIRE BEING INFLATED. DO NOT INFLATE TIRES REQUIRING A GREATER MAXIMUM INFLATION PRESSURE THAN THE RATING FOR THE CAGE IN USE. POSITION THE CAGE SO THAT THERE IS AT LEAST THREE FEET OF CLEARANCE FROM ANY OBJECTS.

At Least 6 Feet

(5) Inflate the tire to the correct tire pressure for the vehicle and wheel position. • Use a 6-foot hose or automatic inflation pressure regulator with lock-on air chuck. • Remain outside the trajectory when inflating the tire. • Inspect for ripples or bulges and listen for any popping sounds (if these conditions are present, deflate the tire immediately and remove the tire from service). • Do not place your head or hand inside the safety cage while inspecting the tire. (6) With the valve core still removed, inflate the tire to 20 psi (138 KPa) over the specified cold inflation pressure. NOTE: This is the only time when a tire may be inflated above the specified cold inflation pressure. During the procedure, if any bulges or distortions appear or if popping sounds can be heard, stop inflation immediately. Deflate the tire and remove from service. (7) Any tire that is suspected of having been run under inflated or overloaded must remain in the cage at 20 psi (138 KPa) over the operating pressure for 20 minutes. (Any tire with any type of repair is suspect.) (8) Reduce the pressure to the specified cold inflation pressure. (9) Install a new valve core. Use HT cores designed for truck tire operations (red band). (10) Remove the tire from the safety cage. (11) Install a new V2B Inflate Thru valve cap.

FedEx Tire Manual – Last Revised June 2008 4 – Maintenance 4-15: Tire Mounting and Demounting 63

Inflating Multipiece Rims (1) All multipiece rims and tube type tires must be in the tire cage before you add any air. (2) Inflate the tire without the valve core to seat the beads. (3) After tire has been inflated, inspect the tire and wheel components while they are still in the restraining device to make sure they are properly seated and locked. (4) If further adjustment to the tire or rim components are necessary, deflate the tire. (5) After adjustments have been made, repeat steps 1–4 above. (6) Inflate the tire to the service pressure without the valve core. (7) Remove the lock-on air chuck. (8) Deflate the tire and tube to prevent the tube from wrinkling. (9) Install a new valve core. Use HT cores designed for truck tire operations (red band). Reinflate to the specified cold inflation pressure.

CAUTION: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE SEATING OF SIDE AND LOCK RINGS BY HAMMERING, STRIKING, OR FORCING THE COMPONENTS WHILE THE TIRE IS PRESSURIZED.

(10) After properly inflating the tire to the specified cold inflation pressure, ensure that the Alligator V2B Inflate Thru valve cap is installed.

TRAJECTORY Trajectory means any potential path or route that a rim/wheel component may travel during an explosive separation, or the sudden release of the pressurized air, or an area at which an airblast from a single piece rim/ wheel may be released. The trajectory may deviate from paths perpendicular to the assembled position of the rim wheel at the time of separation or explosion.

WARNING STAY OUT OF THE TRAJECTORY AS INDICATED BY SHADED AREA. Note: Under some circumstances, the trajectory may deviate from its expected path.

TRAJECTORY

FedEx Tire Manual – Last Revised June 2008 4 – Maintenance 4-20: Tire Balancing 64

4-20: Tire Balancing

Tires in the FedEx fleet must be balanced. Improper balance reduces driveability, tire life, suspension parts life, and results in fatigue on the complete unit. There are 2 approved methods for balancing tires on the FedEx fleet: dynamic balancing and static balancing.

DYNAMIC BALANCING (PREFERRED METHOD) Dynamic balancing means balanced in motion. As the tire and rim assembly rotates, weight must not only be equally distributed around the perimeter of the tire and wheel assembly, but it must be equally distributed from the centerline (inner and outer rim flanges). When a tire is dynamically balanced, it will also be static balanced. There are 2 common methods to dynamic balance: Spin-balance the assembly on the vehicle. This also balances the drum/rotor and hub assembly. When rotating the tire, you will often need to rebalance the assembly. Computer-balance the assembly off the vehicle. By using this method, you can rotate the tires with minimum need to rebalance. The procedure on the use of this equipment varies from brand to brand. Refer to the operator’s manual for the correct method approved for your equipment.

Weight/Runout Limits (New/Retread Tires) Table 1 (new) and Table 1a (retread) detail normal weight limits when balancing tires on FedEx equipment. If a tire is out of range, check the wheel for excessive runout (see Table 2). If an excessive out of balance condition still exists, do the following before completing a warranty claim: (1) Deflate the tire. (2) Break down and rotate 180 degrees on the rim. (3) Reinflate using standard procedures (refer to 4-15: Tire Mounting and Demounting and 4-30: Wheel/Tire Installation). (4) Recheck the balance. (5) If the tire is still not within the maximum weight guidelines, remove the tire and file a warranty claim.

FedEx Tire Manual – Last Revised June 2008 4 – Maintenance 4-25: Tire Mating and Matching 66

4-25: Tire Mating and Matching

FedEx vehicles must be equipped with tires of like construction, type, and size to maintain the safety and reliability of the vehicles.

TIRE MATING Tires on the same axle must not be mixed. Tires should be of the same tread (rib or lug), type (radial or bias), and construction (steel ply/steel belts or fabric ply/steel belts). • The mated pair can consist of (1) one retread and (1) one non-retread / used tire, provided the two (2) tires meet the tire mating and matching requirements. • It is acceptable on CTV’s only to mix brand tires (E.g., a Goodyear and a Bridgestone) to make a matched set provided the mating and matching requirements are met. • It is acceptable on CTV’s only to use mixed brands and have a retread and a non-retread tire to make a matched set, provided the mating and matching requirements are met.

TIRE MATCHING For all light duty tires (19.5" rim diameter and smaller), the dual matching should be within 1/4” (6.35mm) in diameter {1/8” (3.2mm) radius when measured with a tire square}. Matching from side to side should be within the same tolerance used when matching duals. For all CTV tires larger than 19.5" rim diameter, the dual matching should be within 1/2” (12.7mm) in diameter {1/4” (6.35mm) radius when measured with a tire square}. Matching from side to side on the same axle and front to back on tandem axles should be within the same tolerance used when matching duals. When mounting tires for use on a dual assembly, always place the tire with the larger diameter on the outside position

4-30: Wheel/Tire Installation

Before installing any tire and rim onto a unit, check the following items: (1) Determine if the mounting is hub-piloted or stud-piloted. On hub-piloted mountings (see Figure 1), the hub is used to center the wheel. On stud-piloted mountings (see Figure 2), the conical part of the lugnut is used to center the wheel. Do not mix these 2 under any circumstances. (2) Inspect the lugs and nuts. On the lugs, check the condition of the threads to ensure they are tight in the hub. If the lugs are bent, damaged, or rusted, replace or clean them with a wire brush. NOTE: If a stud is broken, replace it and the stud on each side of the broken one. If 2 or more studs are broken, replace them all. Use a press to install studs and be sure the hub flange is supported. Aluminum hubs require different stud installation procedures. Consult the manufacturer for recommendations. Stud heads can be bent from hammer blows, which will prevent the stud from seating properly, and can result in stud failure. (3) Inspect the lugnut threads and look at the conical part for any irregular wear or patterns at mating surface with the wheel (stud-piloted wheels). (4) Inspect the nut flange on hub-piloted nuts for cracks and free movement. Place a small amount of lubricant between the flange and nut (not on the threads). (5) Inspect the rims. Remove excessive paint, rust, or dirt buildup from the contact area of the nut flange with a wire brush. (6) Check the hub and brake drum/rotor. Ensure they are clean and free of dirt and rust and are properly installed. (7) When necessary, clean dirt and rust from all contact areas with a wire brush. Any buildup in these areas can cause the lugnuts to loosen or cause excessive lateral runout. (8) Make sure the rim is the correct one for the application being used (i.e., size, capacity, type). (9) Inspect the bolt holes. Ensure they are not worn or egg-shaped. Inspect for any cracks. Three common types are shown below. For further information, refer to the TMC Recommended Maintenance Practices Manual. Clean the rim center hole (i.e., rust, dirt, or excessive paint) in hub-piloted rims. (10) On dual wheel applications, ensure that the valve stems are accessible and 180° opposite each other.

FedEx Tire Manual – Last Revised June 2008 4 – Maintenance 4-30: Wheel/Tire Installation 69

Torque of Rim Fasteners All lugs must be torqued. When torquing the wheel/rims, be sure to torque the nuts in the recommended pattern (see Figure 3). Retorque all wheels after they have run approximately 100 miles (161km). Under no circumstance are fasteners to be overtorqued. This can cause premature failure of the components and create a safety hazard. Follow the recommended OEM specifications.

• If using fasteners not listed, consult the OEM Manual for recommended torque levels. • Tightening wheel nuts to their specified torque is extremely important. Under tightening, which results in loose wheels, can damage wheels, studs and hubs and can result in wheel loss. Over tightening can damage studs, nuts and wheels and result in loose wheels as well. • Regardless of the torque method used, all torque wrenches, air wrench/torque stick combination, and any other tools should be calibrated periodically to ensure the proper torque is applied. (See Figure 3 in 5-25: Tire Tool Maintenance.)

Torque Wrench/Torque Stick Policy To ensure safety and compliance with equipment requirements, Torque Sticks must not be used as a final torque in FedEx operations. All applications that require a specified torque value (including wheel attachment fasteners) must be accomplished by use of a calibrated Torque wrench.** All torque wrenches must be calibrated and certified on a minimum of an annual basis. Torque wrenches can be calibrated/certified locally.

** If you utilize a Torque Stick(s) in your operation, the following practices must be observed: (1) Torque sticks should be checked monthly against a CALIBRATED TORQUE WRENCH. (2) The torque stick must be within 2% +/- of the checked value. (3) A record of the Torque stick check must be kept on the Torque stick check sheet and filed locally for audit purposes. (A copy of this form can be found in the Tire Manual.) (4) The manager is responsible for insuring all locations utilizing torque sticks within their area are properly equipped to allow proper utilization of torque sticks. These items should be checked regularly during the shop audit procedures. As a minimum, the procedures must include checking that all air compressors, hoses, and fittings are of proper size and flow to assure full torque is being applied by the torque sticks. The torque stick check sheet must also be audited to ensure compliance with monthly checks. NOTE: Air pressure should always be checked at application point, not at the compressor or drop point. This is necessary because length of hoses, distance from compressor, etc. can affect the air pressure at the end of the line.

4-35: Tire Repair

Only approved FedEx repair procedures can be used when making tire repairs. Any other tire repair method is prohibited. Nail hole repairs can only be made in the tread area at least 1" (25.4mm) from the shoulder of the tire. Any tire requiring repair outside of this area must be sent to an authorized Goodyear repair center for inspection and repair, if possible. For 19.5" tires and smaller, mini-section repairs are permitted on new casings with more than 50% tread remaining. Mini-section repairs are restricted to the tread area of the tire and cannot exceed 3/8” (9.6mm) diameter. For 22.5" tires and larger, refer to Unisteel Tire Repair Limits in the 3-35: Retreading Guidelines section. Contact an authorized Goodyear repair center to perform repairs outside these areas. NOTE: On CTVs, any steer tire requiring a section repair can no longer be used in the steer position.

REPAIR LIMITS The following repairs can be made by FedEx technicians at FedEx maintenance facilities:

Nail Hole Repair Limits

Tire Category Maximum Injury Size Maximum Number per Tire Light Truck 3/8” (9.6mm) unlimited; patches may not overlap Medium Truck 3/8” (9.6mm) unlimited; patches may not overlap

Patch/Plug Selection

Ream Size Plug Size Patch Size Plug Patch 5/16” (7.2mm) 3/8” (9.6mm) 3" (76.2mm) round T2L/2 RMT2 Patch and plug require the use of a chemical vulcanizing cement.

PUNCTURE REPAIRS

WARNING: ALWAYS USE THE NECESSARY PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) SUCH AS EYE SAFETY PROTECTION, GLOVES, BACK SUPPORTS, ETC.

(1) Check that any tire to be repaired is dry and relatively clean.

(2) Place the tire on the repair stand. Locate any puncture injuries and circle the injury on the outside of the tire with a tire crayon. Remove the puncturing object.

(3) Probe the injury from the outside to determine the size and angle of penetration of the injury. Check for any additional damage such as separations, impact damage, or rusted wires.

(4) Check the inside of the tire for additional damage, such as a split liner or other impact damage. Injuries up to 3/8" (9.5mm) may be repaired with this procedure. Larger injuries must be rejected or held for a section repair.

FedEx Tire Manual – Last Revised June 2008 4 – Maintenance 4-35: Tire Repair 75

(5) It is recommended to place the injury at approximately the 7:00 or 5:00 position. This is the easiest location to make the repair and will allow buffing dust and other debris to fall to the bottom of the tire.

(6) Clean the liner on the inside of the tire at the repair area to prevent contamination of the repair tools. Using liquid prebuff cleaner and a liner scraper, clean the area around the injury to be buffed to remove dirt and other contaminants found inside the tire. Reapply prebuff cleaner and scrape again as necessary. Vacuum to remove the loose contaminants.

(7) Drill the injury using a 5/16” (7.2mm) carbide cutter using an electric drill (max 1200 rpm). Drill from the inside unless the angle of penetration makes this impossible. When drilling the injury, the tire beads must be in a relaxed position.

After the injury has been drilled 2–3 times from the inside with the carbide cutter, drilling from the outside 2–3 times following the hole will trim off wire ends inside the hole. Do not elongate the hole.

Vacuum away rubber and wire cuttings. Reinspect the drilled injury. If all the injury has not been removed, a section repair is required.

(8) Insert the end of the pull-through plug into the pulling wire. Apply chemical vulcanizing cement to the leading end of the plug (approximately 1/3 to 1/2 of the plug length). Guide the pulling wire through the drilled puncture from the inside of the tire. Pull the plug through the tire until the injury is completely filled.

(9) Using the flexible knife, cut the plug approximately 1/16” (1.6mm) from the liner surface inside the tire. Do not stretch the plug.

(10) Place the appropriate patch (RMT2) into position, centering the patch over the plug. Using a silver pen or tire crayon, mark the outline of the patch approximately 1/2” (12.7mm) larger than the repair unit.

FedEx Tire Manual – Last Revised June 2008 4 – Maintenance 4-35: Tire Repair 76

(11) Using a low-speed air grinder (3200 rpm max.) and a 50- 60 grit cup rasp, buff the liner area marked, staying inside the marked lines, to an RMA 1 texture. All bladder vent marks must be removed.

A wire brush used with the low-speed air grinder after the grit stone may be used to smooth the surface and better achieve the RMA 1 texture. Vacuum away all loose dust and debris. NOTE: When buffing a tube type tire, use only the wire brush to avoid damaging ply cords.

(12) Apply a thin, smooth coat of chemical vulcanizing fluid to the buffed liner. Work the cement into the buffed surface using the applicator brush.

Remove the poly from the back of the repair patch and apply a thin coat of chemical cement to the back of the repair patch. Allow the cement to dry. Temperature and humidity may affect drying time (5 to 15 minutes is usually adequate).

The tire beads must be fully relaxed when applying the repair patch.

(13) Pick up the patch holding onto the clear poly covering the top of the patch. Keeping the contact surface clean, place the patch into position centered over the repair. Press the center of the patch into place and lightly tack the patch down using your thumb, pressing from the center out to the edges. Pulling from one of the corners, gently remove the clear poly covering from the top of the patch.

(14) Using a 1/16” (1.6mm) or 1/8” (3.2mm) corrugated roller stitcher, firmly stitch the patch down, starting in the center and working out to the edges. Make sure the patch edges are stitched down thoroughly for a good seal. (15) It is recommended to use Butyl Liner Repair Sealant to cover the overbuffed liner and the edge of the patch. Brush a coat of the sealant over this area. The chemical cement left on the overbuff will initiate curing and heat generated in service will complete the cure.

(16) Using the flexible knife, trim the outside end of the plug flush with the tread to no more than 1/8” (3.2mm) above the tread surface.

FedEx Tire Manual – Last Revised June 2008 4 – Maintenance 4-40: Alignment 77

4-40: Alignment

Aligning FedEx equipment improves stability, handling, and steerability, and improves tire wear and fuel economy. Several items need to be adjusted to correct alignment:

SUSPENSION Before having a front-end alignment completed, the suspension needs to be inspected. • Check the following for worn parts: – ball joints – loose king pins – all bushings (front and rear suspension) – steering linkage – steering box –shocks – weak or broken springs (front and rear suspension) – wheel bearings and axle bearing (Refer to the TMC Recommended Maintenance Practices Manual.) • Check the following for bent parts: – steering linkage – axles, control arms, radius arms, etc. – rims/wheels • Check tires for: – proper inflation – abnormal wear – correct load range and size

CAMBER Camber — the tilt of the tire up and down

Positive Negative Camber Camber

“Positive camber” is when the top of the tire is tilted outward from the center of the vehicle. Excessive camber can cause the tire to have premature wear on the outer edge. “Negative camber” is when the top is tilted in towards the center of the vehicle. This can cause premature wear on the inner edge of the tire. Vehicles displaying evidence of improper camber settings should be referred to a qualified alignment vendor.

FedEx Tire Manual – Last Revised June 2008 4 – Maintenance 4-40: Alignment 78

CASTER Caster — the forward or backward inclination of the pivot point

Positive Negative Caster Caster

FRONT OF VEHICLE FRONT OF VEHICLE

“Positive caster” is when the upper pivot is tilted to the rear. “Negative caster” is when the upper pivot is tilted forward. Caster is built into an axle to maintain directional stability. Caster will normally not cause excessive tire wear, but will cause a wandering condition at low speeds when not enough positive caster exists. Too much positive caster requires more effort when turning. If the caster is not equal from side to side, this can also cause the vehicle to pull continuously to one side. Vehicles displaying evidence of improper caster settings should be referred to a qualified alignment vendor.

TOE Toe — the difference between the front and rear of the tire at a predetermined height

TOE-IN TIRE WEAR (POSITIVE) TOE-OUT TIRE WEAR (NEGATIVE)

FRONT OF FRONT OF VEHICLE VEHICLE

“Toe-in” is when the front of the tires are closer together than the rear of the tire. “Toe-out” is when the front of the tires are wider than the rear. Toe is the one tire wear angle that has the greatest effect on tire life. Excessive toe-in or toe-out can cause tires to feather the ribs, wear excessively, wear unevenly with the outside wearing faster (toe-in) or inside wearing faster (toe-out), and may cause handling problems. To measure toe, follow the procedures outlined in this manual. Additional information can be found in the TMC Recommended Maintenance Practices Manual and the manufacturer repair manuals. When adjusting tie rods, ensure the steering box is centered. This will ensure that the vehicle has the same turning radius left and right.

FedEx Tire Manual – Last Revised June 2008 4 – Maintenance 4-40: Alignment 79

Alignment Specifications All FedEx vehicles (except Freightliner W7xx series) should have toe-in of 1/32” (.8mm), plus or minus 1/32” (.8mm) {0" to 1/16” (1.6mm) toe-in}. Measure the front and back of the tires each time as both measurements will change when making adjustments.

Freightliner W7xx series vehicles should have toe-in of 2/32" (1.6mm) +/- 1/32 (.8mm).

Troubleshooting Occasionally you may need to troubleshoot a steering or handling complaint, or to diagnose irregular tire wear. Points to remember are: (1) Do the easy and obvious things first: • Check tires for proper inflation. • Check wheel bearings for adjustment and defects. • Check all steering system linkage for lubrication, tightness, and impact damage. • Inspect front suspension for wear, tightness, and shifting of components, such as a spring pack with a sheared center bolt. NOTE: Most complaints of “it just started” or “it's been getting worse and worse” can be satisfied by checking these things and taking corrective action. (2) Never forget the effect that rear axle alignment and suspension wear and looseness can have on vehicle control, tire wear, and stability. (3) The fact that a road test for you does not duplicate the complaint may only mean that you haven't duplicated the same condition (e.g., road, load, load distribution, trailer, etc.). Don't just close the matter. Steering and handling problems don't heal themselves and a little further investigation now might save considerable time later. (4) A vehicle that seems to have a mind of its own as to what direction it wants to go and when it wants to go there can be a real frustration to the driver. Be sensitive to that fact and always keep him or her posted on what you did or did not find, and could or could not do, if a complaint occurs. (5) Refer to The Maintenance Council’s Radial Tire Conditions Analysis Guide for assistance with evaluating irregular tire wear.

Checking Toe-In using the WA0517 Toe Gauge and Scribe It is preferable to check toe with the wheels on the WA1841 slip plates or equivalent since freedom of movement during adjustments is very important. If not using slip plates, it is necessary to roll the vehicle (push by hand) the distance of one tire revolution after each adjustment to settle the suspension. When referring to LEFT and RIGHT on the vehicle, it is as if one were sitting in the driver’s seat. All measurements must be taken on a clean, smooth, level floor. (1) Raise the vehicle to free the front wheels. Holding the handle of the scribe placed on the floor, rotate the tire. Bring the scribe close enough to scribe a line in the approximate center of the tread around the circumference of the tire. Repeat this on the other front wheel. NOTE: It may be necessary to paint the center tread area prior to using the scribe in order to make the scribed line more visible. (2) Center the slip plates under the wheels with the locating pins in place. (3) Disengage the locating pins, then lower the vehicle onto the slip plates. (4) Rock the vehicle from side to side. (5) With the toe gauge assembled, adjust the height of both pointers so that they are as close to the spindle height as possible. Use the appropriate combination of stands and pointers to achieve the correct height. (6) Set the right indicator so the indicator pin is on the zero mark on the bar and lock it by tightening the thumb

FedEx Tire Manual – Last Revised June 2008 4 – Maintenance 4-40: Alignment 80

screw.

NOTE: For steps 7 and 8, it is critical that the pointers are aligned exactly with the scribed lines. (7) Carefully slide the toe gauge behind the front wheels, turning it on its side, if necessary. The pointers should be facing upward so they will not get damaged. Place the unit in the proper position so that the pointer at the right end is against the scribed line on the rear of the right tire. Being careful not to move the bar, adjust the left pointer assembly so that the pointer is against the scribed line at the rear of the left tire. Tighten the thumb screw to lock in position. This is the distance across the back of the tires. (8) Being careful not to jar the pointers out of position, remove the toe gauge from behind the front wheels and place it at the front of the wheels so the left end is against the scribed line on the front of the right hand tire. Keeping the left pointer in position, release the thumb screw of the right pointer assembly and align it with the scribed line on the front of the left tire. The indicator now shows the toe-in or toe-out of the vehicle. (9) When finished, raise the vehicle off the slip plates and reinstall the locating pins. Remove the slip plates from under the vehicle and store them in a manner that will prevent them from being damaged.

NOTE: Never drive a vehicle on or off the slip plates. Damage to the slip plates will occur. Refer to Slip Plate Maintenance instructions for proper care and lubrication.

Slip Plate Maintenance The slip plates are lubricated at the factory with a special Teflon® lubricant (a tube of which is supplied with the new slip plates) which is resistant to water, salt, oil, and gasoline, and also offers protection against rust and corrosion. Keeping your slip plates clean will extend the relubrication cycles. To clean and relubricate slip plates: (1) Remove either of the top plate covers (WA1841). (2) Disengage locating pins. (3) Slide slip plate off the base plate. (4) Wipe off sand and dirt as necessary. (5) Clean both the slip plate and the base plate with commercial degreaser or solvent. (6) Cover contact surface of slip plate with a thin, even coating of lubricant. Too much lubricant can inhibit the free movement of the plate. (7) Reassemble the unit. NOTE: Do not remove the handles at anytime.

FedEx Tire Manual – Last Revised June 2008 4 – Maintenance 4-40: Alignment 81

AXLE ALIGNMENT Axle Alignment— parallelism and perpendicularity of axles

“Drive axles” should be parallel within 1/16” (1.6mm) difference between the axle centers measured on the left and right side of the vehicle. Axles should be perpendicular to the chassis centerline within 1/8” (3.2mm) between axle ends and vehicle centerline.

TRAILER AXLE ALIGNMENT Trailer axle alignment is required to insure the axles are perpendicular to the center line of the trailer. When properly aligned, the trailer will track behind the tractor without scuffing the tread rubber off the trailer tires. A properly aligned trailer will pull easier and save fuel. For safe operation and longer component life, make the following visual inspections before any work is performed on the trailer. • Check the tires: The tires of each dual wheel must be matched to a minimum of 1/4” (6.4mm) radius. The tires also must have equal air pressures. • Check the suspension system: hanger bolts; torque arm bolts; torque arm clamp bolts; U-bolts; sliding tandem rails, locks. – Any loose bolts should be tightened or replaced with new bolts of the manufacturer’s specified material. – Verify the U-bolts are tight and that springs are not cracked or shifted. – Inspect the slider assembly for damaged, broken parts. – If repairs to any part of the suspension system are required, they must be completed before attempting to check or adjust the alignment.

Preparation (1) Trailer should be empty. (2) Pull the trailer straight onto a level floor. NOTE: If backing the trailer into the bay, remove any slack in the sliding tandem by applying the trailer brakes and pulling the trailer forward slightly. This action removes all slack in the locking pins and places the lower slide unit in an “as run” position. (3) Remove the tractor from under the trailer. (4) Raise or lower the landing gear to put the trailer in an “as used” height. (5) Make sure the brakes are released. (6) Use the trailer measuring diagram on the backside of the Trailer PM Worksheet (Form No. M-8198) for recording the measurements. – The differences between the A and B measurements must not exceed 1/8” (3.2mm). – The differences between the C and D measurements must not exceed 1/16” (1.6mm).

FedEx Tire Manual – Last Revised June 2008 4 – Maintenance 4-40: Alignment 82

Measurements: Before Adjustment After Adjustment A ______B ______C ______D ______

Procedure for Using the Wheel-A-Matic WA1889 Trailer King Pin Extension (1) Check the trailer king pin to determine if it has a centering hole. If it does, the point on the sliding shaft is used to contact the king pin. The funnel should be lowered so that it will not interfere with the king pin. If the king pin does not contain a centering hole, unlock the funnel set screw and slide the funnel up the shaft until the point does not touch the king pin. Lock the funnel in this position with the set screw.

(2) Loosen the knurled lock ring and pull out the telescoping tube until the total length is slightly greater than the distance from the bottom of the king pin to the ground. (3) Tighten the knurled lock ring. (4) Insert the king pin extension between the king pin and the ground by depressing the spring loaded sliding shaft until it is in place. (5) Adjust the king pin extension until the bubble is in the center of the bull’s eye.

Procedure for Using Wheel-A-Matic WA1888 Trailer Tandem Tracking Tool The Wheel-A-Matic Trailer Tandem Tracker tool is an aid in measuring axle alignment. Axle alignment is measured by using the tool to establish the measuring points from the center of the wheels on the front axle to the king pin extension.

FedEx Tire Manual – Last Revised June 2008 4 – Maintenance 4-40: Alignment 83

To check/adjust axle alignment: (1) Clean the wheels on the front axle. (2) Place one of the trailer tandem tracker tools against one of the front rims with the threaded hub pointer centered on the wheel hub. Adjust the pointer until it is approximately 1" (25.4mm) from the center of the hub. (3) Push in on the end of each rim support arm, one at a time, compressing the spring inside the arm until the rim holding tabs fit against the outer edge of the rim flange. (4) Center the threaded hub pointer and adjust until it just makes contact with the center of the wheel hub. Adjust the pointed measuring rod until it fully contacts/seats against the centering hub. (5) Install the second trailer tandem tracker tool on the opposite side of the front axle. (6) Using a steel measuring tape, measure from the king pin extension to the pointed end of each pointed measuring tool. The difference between the A and B measurements must not exceed 1/8” (3.2mm). (7) Adjust the axle alignment, if necessary. Remember, the measurement on both sides will change as the adjustment is made.

Check the Alignment of the Rear Axle (1) Remove the rubber/plastic plug from the center of the axle hub caps. (2) With a tire caliper, measure from the center of the front axle to the center of the rear axle.

NOTE: If the axle does not have centering “dimples”, use the center of the rubber plugs in the hub caps. (3) Take the same measurement on the opposite side of the trailer. (4) Compare the two measurements. If the readings are the same, the axles are parallel. While the preferred difference is 0", up to 1/16” (1.6mm) is the allowable difference. (5) If these measurements are found to be unequal, adjust the rear axle. Once again, both readings change as the adjustment is made.

FedEx Tire Manual – Last Revised June 2008 5 – Shop Administration 5-5: Tire Cages 85

5-5: Tire Cages

Any location performing tire repair/tire mounting and inflation must have an OSHA-approved tire cage. Required equipment for use with a safety cage consists of the following: • air pressure regulator • air hose with a quick couple disconnect at the regulator end, or an inflator handle equipped with a gauge and manual lever that must be pressed and held when inflating • minimum 72-inch length of hose with a lock-on air chuck Under no circumstances should the lock-on style air chuck be replaced with the standard style requiring the operator to physically hold it in place.

CAUTION: DO NOT BOLT TIRE CAGES INTO PLACE; THEY ARE INTENDED TO BE FREE STANDING. THE CAGE MUST BE AT LEAST 3 FEET (.91M) FROM ANY OTHER OBJECTS OR OBSTRUCTIONS.

Each day before use and after any separation of the rim/wheel components or sudden release of air, the cage must be inspected. Any restraining device or barrier showing the following defects or other damage must be removed from service immediately: •cracks at welds • cracked or broken components • bent or sprung components caused by mishandling, abuse, tire explosion, or rim separation • pitting of components due to corrosion • other structural damage that can decrease its effectiveness

NOTE: Restraining devices or barriers removed from service must be replaced with new equipment meeting the regulatory requirements of OSHA reg. 1910.177 (d) (3) (I).

Automatic Inflation Systems Automatic inflation systems (regulators) should be placed in a location easily accessible and a safe distance from the tire cage. Regulated pressure settings should be reset to zero after each inflation.

FedEx Tire Manual – Last Revised June 2008 5 – Shop Administration 5-10: Tire Storage 86

5-10: Tire Storage

Tires should be stored in upright racks. Larger, heavier tires and mounted tire/wheel assemblies should be stored on the bottom row of the tire rack. Smaller, lighter tires can be stored on the upper row. Stacking tires is not recommended for safety reasons and mounting ease. Tires may be temporarily stacked if necessary. Tires must not be stacked more than 6 high. Tire racks must be attached to the floor and wall (when accessible) to prevent racks from tipping over.

All tires must be secured/locked at all times. If tires cannot be secured in a locked maintenance shop, such as any common area accessible by non-maintenance personnel, a chain, cable, or bar must be used to secure them.

Tires must not be stored outside the facility or exposed to the weather. When there is no other option but to store tires outside the facility, they must still be secured, covered, and protected from the weather.

TIRE BEAD LUBRICANTS

Approved Lubricants • Myers RuGlyde (PN 46-653) • Myers Tire and Lube Compound (P/N 46632 - 8LBS, P/N 46633 - 25 LBS) DO NOT DILUTE. • Slip-Tec (1 Gal. PN 46250, 5 Gal. PN 46251) • or equivalent Water-based solutions must contain 10 – 20% solids and a rust inhibitor. When possible, lubricants should be purchased in a ready-to-use state. Improper ratios of lubricant and water may have a harmful effect on tires and wheels. The following types of lubricants should not be used: • petroleum oils or grease – may be harmful to the tire • silicone oils and emulsions – may cause the tire to slip on the rim while in service • solvent-based lubricants – may create an explosive mixture of air and volatiles Refer to section RP 205A in the TMC Recommended Maintenance Practices Manual for more information.

AIR COMPRESSOR AIRLINE GAUGE UNIT

AIRLINE CHUCK

Air Compressor Tank Air compressor tanks must be drained weekly of moisture. The air being inflated into the tires must be free of moisture. Use a time release spitter valve to eliminate moisture buildup in the air tank (refer to the manufacturer’s recommended PM requirements). All air compressors must have a preventive maintenance inspection monthly. Inspections must have a running retention of 12 months. Modify your local inspection sheet or make a copy of the sample in Figure 1, place in a plastic sheet protector, and hang it on or near the air compressor.

Tire Changer • Inspect the tire changer for operation of controls and foot pedals, hold-down attachments, air hose, lock-on chuck, and lifting bar. • Ensure that all adjustments are correct for the machine to operate properly. • Clean off dirt or foreign materials. (Do not use compressed air.) • Check any fluid level (e.g., on a 5060, check the transmission level and fill the tire lube bottle with the approved lubricant). Refer to the operator manual for the details on the model at your location. • To prevent tipping over, all tire machines must be secured to the floor. • Do not use a tire machine if any equipment is not in operational condition. Defects must be repaired before putting it back into service.

Patching Tool Kit Items include buffer, rasp, wire brush, reamer, scraper, flexible knife, probe, and silver pens. Ensure that the buffing wheels are in good condition. Inspect bits, and clean and lube air motor. Some materials used in this kit have an expiration date. Do not use any product with an expired date. Keep a minimum inventory on any item having a shelf life. Shelf life for tire repair materials used by FedEx are as follows: • BRS liner sealer — 6 months from date opened • chemical cement — 1 year from date opened • chemical patches/plugs — 2 years from date opened

TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE INSPECTION All tire pressure gauges must be tested and logged on an inspection sheet, and must have a running retention of 12 months. Modify your local inspection sheet or make a copy of the sample in Figure 2. The following information should be logged for each gauge: • date of inspection • gauge ID number • master gauge pressure • shop gauge pressure (or variance) • employee signature

Master Tire Pressure Gauge The master tire pressure gauge must be inspected and certified annually. If for any reason the master gauge becomes questionable for accuracy, it must be recalibrated. The master gauge must be within a 2% variance at 100 psi. To have these gauges tested and recalibrated, return them to the manufacturer or have them tested and recalibrated by a local vendor. Local vendors can be found under “Gauges” in the telephone book.

Shop Pressure Gauges Shop pressure gauges must be inspected for accuracy every 3 months by the fleet manager. This can be done by checking them against the master gauge. These gauges must be within 2% accuracy of the master gauge. For locations with more than 1 gauge, it is necessary that each gauge be identified by a permanent ID number so you can track the date the gauge was last inspected. All inaccurate gauges must be removed from service and be recalibrated or replaced.

Air Inflater Gauge Inspect spring-loaded valves, extension hose, and lock-on chuck on air inflater gauges. Check the accuracy of the built-in pressure gauge.

Remote Automatic Air Inflator To ensure proper tire inflation automatic air inflators must be inspected monthly for accuracy and documented on the Tire Pressure Gauge Inspection Form. The gauge is to be inspected with the master gauge for accuracy. Inspect gauge, valve adjustment, extension hoses for wear and cracking, and lock-on chuck, replace any worn parts. Minor inaccuracies in the gauge are to be addressed by labeling the gauge with the pounds to be compensated. Gauges off by more then 10 lbs must be replaced.

RECORD RETENTION FOR TIRE PROGRAM All tire maintenance records should be kept on file for 12 months unless otherwise required by another FedEx Corporate manual.
