On 3500 models with Dual Rear-Wheels (DRW),
you must first remove the hub caps—use the
procedure noted for the single rear wheel. For the
wheel covers (wheel skins), insert the flat end of
the lug wrench between the outer edge of the
wheel cover and the wheel. Pry against the wheel
to remove the wheel cover. Repeat this procedure
around the wheel until the cover pops off.

Replace the wheel covers using a rubber mallet to
ease the installation. Align the wheel cover vent
holes to the wheel vent holes. Tap on the wheel
cover as needed to firmly seat it evenly around the
wheel.

jump started using a set of jumper cables and a
battery in another vehicle, or by using a portable
battery booster pack. Jump starting can be
dangerous if done improperly, so please follow the
procedures in this section carefully.
NOTE:When using a portable battery booster pack, follow
the manufacturer's operating instructions and
precautions.

the hub cap, damage to the hub cap; finish

The rear hub caps on the dual rear wheel has
two pull off notches. Make sure that the hook
of the jack handle driver is located squarely in
the cap notch before attempting to pull off.
WARNING!
Do not attempt jump starting if the battery is
frozen. It could rupture or explode and cause
personal injury.
CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery booster pack or
any other booster source with a system voltage
