Checking Wheel Bolts and Hardware

CAUTION: Avoid injury! Check rim, hub, and axle hardware periodically to prevent possible machine roll-over.

When machine is new or anytime wheel hardware is loosened, tighten all bolts after one hour of operation and every four hours thereafter until proper torque values are maintained.

Tightness of wheel hardware must be maintained according to service interval recommendations. Check wheel bolt tightness and torque as follows:

Front Wheel Bolts

Tighten wheel bolts alternately to 140 N·m (103 lb-ft).

Rear Wheel Bolts

Tighten wheel bolts alternately to 140 N·m (103 lb-ft).
