1. A loose wheel must travel laterally a distance of approximately 4 inches to come off the end of the axle.
   
   
2. If the loose wheel is steered back under the vehicle before it can travel the necessary 4 inches laterally, it will remain load bearing and cannot escape from the vehicle.

This is accomplished by the horizontal bar, as shown on the facing panel, with the side wall clearance at the front of the tire being 1 inch and the sidewall clearance at the rear of the tire being 11 /2 inches. This has the effect that the front of the tire is turned back toward the vehicle (while the vehicle is travelling forward) and allowing the loose wheel to drive in that line. The loose wheel is not pulled sideways under load, does not scuff along the road surface and is allowed to continue its normal rotation, as the force along the sidewall is not sufficient to impede rotational movement. Loose Wheel Management System is constructed in a style that will allow the outside restraining bar to move horizontally if it comes into contact with an obstacle since it is made of tempered steel, giving it spring-like qualities, to then return to its' original installation point and configuration.

The Loose Wheel Management System is easily removed for the tire service by the removal of two pins that hold the angle brace. In turn, these pins are held on by lynch pins. To remove the system one removes the two lynch pins, then the pin that holds the angle brace, then lifts the outside of the restraining bar 3 inches and pulls it out much in the same style as one would remove a kitchen drawer.
