Two-Wheel Drive Front Axle and Front Wheel Bolt Tightening

causym CAUTION: Avoid the possibility of personal injury. Never operate tractor with loose wheel bolts or axle components. Wheel bolts are critical and require retightening. Install wheels and ballast so periodic checking of tightness can be done easily.

IMPORTANT: If bolts (B) or (C) have been loosened, wheel must be removed and placed on the ground to center the disk to the rim. Be sure disk is flat to rim before tightening.

Tighten bolts to specification.
