RXA0130319-UN-15JAN13

CAUTION: Avoid the possibility of personal injury. Never operate tractor with loose wheel bolts. Failure to follow procedure may result in personal injury. Wheel bolts are critical to operation and require repeated torquing to assure secure tightness.

IMPORTANT: Some bolts may loosen as sleeve is tightened. Repeat torquing sequence until ALL sleeve bolts maintain proper torque. Failure to follow procedure could result in damage to equipment.

Tighten five hub sleeve bolts (1-5) to initial torque specifications in sequence shown beginning with center cap screw (A) in lower sleeve.

Tighten bolts to secondary torque specifications using same tightening sequence.

Drive tractor approximately 100 m (100 yd.). Then tighten bolts to final torque specification until bolts maintain torque specified.

Item	Measurement	Specification

Initial	Torque	204 N·m (150 lb.-ft.)
Secondary	Torque	410 N·m (300 lb.-ft.)
Final	Torque	600 N·m (445 lb.-ft.)

IMPORTANT: Keep wheel bolts tightened to specification. If tractor is operated with loose bolts, damage to equipment may occur.
