Install Front Wheels-Dual Wheels
CAUTION:
Dual wheels are heavy (approximately 340 kg (750 lb.) without liquid ballast) and difficult to handle due to extreme offset of tire and rim. When handling wheels, off centered weight can suddenly shift making wheel handling awkward and the wheel difficult to control. To avoid personal injury, two service technicians are needed to control wheel handling.
NOTE:
If installing dual wheels, both inner and outer wheels are positioned, so bottom end of tire cleats are facing towards front and down. Tire MUST be installed as directed or machine will not be drivable.
Pilot stud H138607 is strongly recommended to help guide wheels into position.
1.
Install pilot studs (A) in top and bottom holes of drive hub. Stud threads must bottom out in hole so inner end is flush with inside of hub.
IMPORTANT:
Wheel bolts MUST be clean and oil-free when installing and torquing. Torque values specified in the following procedures are for clean, dry, wheel bolts. Lubricating oil reduces friction and thread bite to overload bolts.
Due to countersunk design of spacer ring, inner wheel bolts can be checked and torqued when outer wheel is removed.
Inner wheel is installed over drive hub (rim dished in) positioning tire close to machine.
2.
Position inner wheel on studs with bottom end of tire cleats to front and down.
3.
Attach wheel with spacer ring (B) and wheel bolts (C). Wheel bolt heads fit inside larger unthreaded holes.
