burst with explosive force, sufficient to cause
serious physical injury or death.
Demounting
1. Connect articulation lock to the frame
mounts prior to lifting the vehicle.
2. Attach a Do Not Operate tag to the Off/On/
Start switch.
3. Block wheels not being serviced.
4. Using a jack, hoist, or other suitable method,
raise the vehicle until the wheel to be ser-
viced just clears the ground.
WARNING: Ensure that the method used
to elevate the Scooptram is stable and
capable of raising and supporting the weight. If
the tire being removed is on an oscillating axle,
be sure to block the carrier.
5. Crib or securely block the vehicle before
proceeding with wheel removal.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to remove
any rim or wheel components such as lugs
or wheel clamps before all pressure in the tire is
exhausted. A broken rim part under pressure can
blow apart and cause severe injury or death.
6. Remove the valve core and exhaust all air
from the tire. Stand clear or to the side dur-
ing deflation.
7. Check the valve stem by running a piece of
wire through the stem to make sure it is not
plugged before proceeding with wheel ser-
vice.
WARNING: DO NOT look into the valve
stem while clearing restrictions.
8. Loosen and remove the wheel lug nuts.
Remove the wheel using a hoist and sling
capable of supporting the load.
CAUTION: Use caution when removing
wheels or heavy rim components. Stand to
one side and keep hands and fingers clear when
using demounting tools. The tool may slip and
cause injury.
9. Demount tire from wheel using accepted
shop practices.

Inspection
Inspect wheel components for defects, observing
the following precautions:
1. Clean rims and repaint to prevent corrosion
and to facilitate inspection and tire mount-
ing. Be very careful to clean all dirt and rust
from the lock ring and gutter. This is impor-
tant to secure the lock ring in its proper posi-
tion. A filter on the air inflation equipment to
remove the moisture from the air line helps
prevent corrosion. The filter should be
checked periodically to be sure that it is
working properly. Parts must be clean for a
proper fit, particularly the gutter section
which holds the lock ring in proper position.
2. Periodically check the rim for cracks by
removing all dirt and paint and visually
inspecting. Replace all cracked, badly worn,
damaged, and severely rusted components
with new parts of the same size and type.
Replace a component when condition is in
doubt. Parts that are cracked, damaged, or
excessively corroded are weakened. Bent or
repaired parts may not engage properly.
Note: Additional inspection for cracks using
either dye penetrant or magnetic testing methods
is also recommended. Contact your Atlas Copco
or tire service representative for further infor-
mation.
3. Dont re-inflate a tire that has been run flat
without first inspecting the tire, tube, flap,
rim, and wheel assembly. Double check the
side ring, flange, bead seat, lock ring, and o-
ring for damage and make sure that they are
secure in the gutter before installation. Com-
ponents may have been damaged or dislo-
cated during the time the tire was run flat or
seriously under-inflated.

4. Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to
re-work, weld, heat, or braze any rim compo-
nents that are cracked, broken, or damaged.
Replace them with new parts, or spare parts
that are not cracked, broken, or damaged and
which are of the same size and type. Heating
a part may weaken it to the extent that it is
unable to withstand forces of inflation or
operation.
5. Make sure the correct parts are being assem-
bled. If you are not sure about the proper
mating of rim and wheel parts, consult a rim
and wheel chart.

WARNING: Mismatched rim parts are
dangerous!!!
Improper rim selection can cause these operating
problems:
Tire Slippage
Excessive Flexing
Tube Pinching
Overheating
Valve Stem Tear Outs
Sidewall Failure
Ply Separation
Blowouts
Most rims look alike but all vary somewhat in
certain design features. It is these differences
between rims of different types that make part
mixing a hazardous business. A close, proper
fit between rim parts is essential to long tire life
as well as to operating safety.
Very often side-rings, flanges, and lock rings of
different types appear to be properly seated, but
actually wide gaps are present, frequently diffi-
cult to see. The rim cross-sections above show
correct, safe matchings of rim parts, as well as
mismatched rings and bases which almost
always create an unsafe operating condition.
Mounting and Inflating
Observe the following precautions during
mounting and inflation:
Inflate all tires in a safety cage, then use
safety chains or an equivalent restraining
device during inflation. Mis-assembled parts
may fly apart during inflation.
Dont inflate a tire before all components are
properly in place. With the tire in a safety
cage and safety chains or equivalent restrain-
ing devices installed, inflate to approxi-
mately 10 psi (69 kPa). Recheck the
components for proper assembly. If the
assembly is not proper, deflate the tire and
correct the problem.
NEVER hammer on an inflated or partially
inflated tire/rim assembly. If the assembly is
not proper at 10 psi (69 kPa), deflate the tire
and correct the problem. Dont try to seat
rings or other components by hammering
while the tire is inflated or partially inflated.
Properly matched and assembled compo-
nents will seat without tapping. If a part is
tapped, it or the tapping tool may fly out with
explosive force. Check to make sure all com-
ponents are properly seated prior to inflation.
Don't hammer on rims or components with
steel hammers. Use rubber, lead, plastic, or
brass faced mallets if it is necessary to tap
un-inflated components together. The use of
steel hammers may damage the components
being hammered and cause an improper fit.
Never sit on or stand in front of a tire and rim
assembly that is being inflated. Use a clip-on
fitting or connector with an in-line valve so
that the person inflating the tire can stand to
the side of the tire, not in front or in back of
the tire assembly.
Stand clear when using a cable or chain
sling. The cable or chain may break, lash out,
and cause injury.
Never attempt to weld on an inflated tire/ rim
assembly or on a rim assembly with a
deflated tire. Heat from welding will cause a
sudden, drastic rise in pressure which could
result in an explosion with the force of a
bomb. The heat from welding can also cause
deflated tires to catch fire.
Never mix parts of one type rim with those
of another. Mis-matched parts may appear to

fit, but when inflated, can fly apart with
explosive force.
Never add or remove an attachment or other-
wise modify a rim (especially by welding or
brazing) unless the tire has been removed
and you have received approval from the rim
manufacturer. Modification or heating of a
rim or one of its parts may weaken it.
Wheel Assembly
1. Install tire on the wheel. Complete assembly
of wheel components.
2. Align driver pockets in bead seat band and
base.
3. Insert driving key into driver pocket on base.
4. Make certain that all parts are properly
aligned before inflation.
5. When properly aligned, the bead seat band
and pocket will move out and lock the drive
key during inflation.
6. Inflate to recommended pressure.
7. Mount completed wheel and tire assembly
on the axle, then tighten lugs to the specified
torque.
8. Remove cribbing or blocks and lower the
vehicle.
9. Check that tire is inflated to the specified
pressure following the applicable precau-
tions listed above.
10. Recheck lug nut torque after first 8 hours of
operation.
Note: Outboard drivers are on those rims used
in high torque and/or low inflation pressure
applications, preventing circumferential move-
ment of the rim components. Rim assemblies
with an M or L near the end of the style
designation (part number) are so equipped.

Wheel Nut Torque
Wheel nuts must be tightened in an alternating
pattern.
Wheel nuts are to be tightened to the correct
torque upon initial installation or reinstallation
on the vehicle.
Use only Grade 8 wheel nuts and hardened
washers.
Wheel nuts are to be checked for correct torque
every four (4) hours for the first twelve (12)
hours of operation.
Wheel nuts are to be checked for correct torque
every eight (8) hours for the next thirty-two (32)
hours of operation. Thereafter, check wheel nuts
every one hundred (100) hours, or weekly.
Important: Before mounting and torqu-
ing...Remove all paint, dirt and rust from both
sides of wheels at mating surfaces around lug
bolt holes. THESE AREAS MUST BE
CLEAN. Also, clean axle wheel end surfaces
which mate with back side of wheels. Proper
torque cannot be maintained unless these sur-
faces are clean and free of paint, dirt or grease.
Operating Precautions
Observe the following precautions when putting
the Scooptram back in service:
1. Dont use undersized rims. Use recom-
mended rim for tire. Consult catalogs for
proper time/rim matching.
2. Dont overload or over-inflate tire/rim
assemblies. Check your rim assemblies if
special operating conditions are required.
Excessive overload can cause damage to the
tire and rim assembly.
3. Never install a tube in a tubeless tire/rim
assembly when the rim is suspected of leak-
ing. Loss of air pressure through fatigue,
cracks, or other fractures in a tubeless rim
warns you of a potential rim failure. This
safety feature is lost when tubes are used
with leaking rims. Continued use may cause
the rim to burst with explosive force.
4. Always inspect rims and wheels for damage
during tire checks. Early detection of poten-
tial rim failures may prevent serious injury.
5. Never add or remove an attachment or other-
wise modify a rim (especially by heating,
welding, or brazing) unless the tire has been
removed and approval has been received
Power Train Service Manual Wagner Scooptrams
110 07-96 5566071301
from the rim manufacturer. Modification or
heating of a rim or one of its parts may
weaken it so that it cannot withstand forces
created by inflation or operation.
Recapping
For some applications, recapping tires can be
cost effective alternative to replacement with
new tires. Most tires are generally recappable,
depending on how well they have been inspected
during their service life.
The deciding factor is the severity of the job the
tire must do. Some jobs are too tough for
recapped tires. High speed, overloading, and
long service at low inflation pressure all take too
much life out of the cord body for it to last
longer than the life of one tread.
Tire Storage
The most important factor about tire storage is to
use the tires which have been in stock the longest
period of time.
If tires are to be stored for a considerable length
of time, the ideal condition is a cool, dry, and
dark location, free from air currents. While low
temperatures are not objectionable, high room
temperature (over 26.7 C / 80 F) is detrimental
and should be avoided.
Always keep the floor clean and free of oil and
grease. Rubber quickly absorbs petroleum prod-
ucts and then swells and becomes soft and
spongy.
Particular care should be taken to store tires
away from electric motors as they generate
ozone which causes rapid aging of the rubber.
Keep the storage room dark, or free from direct
sunlight. Windows, if given a coat of blue paint,
will provide indirect lighting in the daytime
which is not injurious.
Atlas Copco Wagner does not recommend the
storage of tires out of doors. Where this is neces-
sary, whether in transit or stationary storage,
tires should be protected from the elements by
an opaque waterproof covering. Such tires
should be inspected before mounting to be sure
they are clean, dry, and free of foreign objects.
Mounting for Storage
When a Scooptram is to be stored for a period of
time, the mounted and inflated tires should be
blocked up to remove the load, and the inflation
pressure should be reduced to l5 psi (1 bar).
Storage of Scooptrams should be under cover, if
possible, and each tire should be protected from
the elements by an opaque waterproof covering.
If it is not possible to block up the Scooptram,
the tire inflation pressure should be increased to
25% above the rated psi for the actual load on
the tire in the storage condition. The tires should
be checked every two weeks for proper inflation.
The surface area under each Scooptram in stor-
age should be firm, reasonable level, well
drained, and free of all oil, fuel, or grease. A 1/4
inch to 3/ 4 inch (6.4-19.1 mm) layer of clean
gravel under each tire is desirable if the area is
not paved. Storage should not be permitted on
blacktop or oil stabilized surfaces.
Tires must be inflated to the proper operating
pressure before returning a stored Scooptram to
service.
