Remove Front Wheels-Dual Wheel Combine

CAUTION: To avoid injury or death, raise feeder house and engage mechanical safety stops before starting installation. Some assembly steps will require you to work under feeder house.

Without mechanical safety stops engaged feeder house can suddenly lower, causing serious crushing injury or death.

1. Raise feeder house and engage mechanical safety stop.

2. Inner and Outer Wheels: With front tires on ground, break wheel bolts loose one full turn but do not remove at this time.

CAUTION: Jack MUST have a minimum lifting capacity of 5443 kg (6 ton). To reduce machine weight, grain tank MUST be empty and header attachment removed.

3. Raise front end of combine using jack (A).

CAUTION: To help prevent personal injury caused by unexpected movement of the machine, be sure machine is stable after blocking. Do not support machine on cinder blocks, hollow tiles or props that may crumble under continuous load. Do not work on a machine this is supported solely by a jack.

Be sure front axle rests on blocking before attempting to remove wheels.

4. Position solid blocking under front axle (B). Lower combine onto blocking, making sure no load shift is seen of felt.

CAUTION: Wheel assemblies are heavy, awkward to handle and difficult to control due to extreme offset of tire and rim. Two service technicians are required for wheel removal.

5. While supporting outer wheel assembly, remove wheel bolts, spacers and front wheels. Move wheel assemblies away from machine.

NOTE: Machine can be transported with inner wheels left in-place. Likewise, outer wheels can be serviced off the machine while leaving inner wheels undisturbed.

Follow same steps to remove inner wheels.

• Break wheel bolts loose one turn.
• Support wheel assembly.
• Remove wheel bolts, spacer ring and inner wheel.
