Tire Installation and Wheel Nut Torque


Machines with 11L-14 Tires:

  1. Install wheels with the valve stems toward the inside. Incorrect assembly can cause wheel nuts to loosen.

    Exceeding recommended tire pressure can damage baler frame.

    Whenever a wheel has been removed and installed, check wheel nut torque after 1 hour of operation and repeat until nuts maintain specified torque.
