Guard plates (060) are not a substitute for complete wheels. The vehicle must not be lowered onto the mounted guard plates (060). When the engine is running, do not engage a gear or gear range, otherwise the guard plates (060) can be damaged.

Attach guard plate (060) to the wheel hub using 3 wheel bolts.
Wheel bolts for light alloy rims are too long and must therefore not be used. Use only short wheel bolts.
