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 1 hour of operation and every 4 hours thereafter until proper torque values are maintained.

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

Front Wheel Bolts

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

Rear Wheel Bolts

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