MAINTENANCE

Hinge Pins -

Check bolt, nut and collar that fastens hinge pin
at rear of unit. See Image Mnt-R-0233.

Lift Level Rods

Each level lift rod holds approximately twice the weight of the machine. Careful inspection of each rod and
component part is important. Look for excessive wear on the front and rear level lift pins and the drilled holes
they ride in. These pins are made of hardened steel and should be replaced only with the proper pins.

Wheel Bearing

The wheel bearings were packed and properly
adjusted at the factory. The wheels should be
checked each week to see if they need
adjustment. Jack the wheel off the ground. Grab
the wheel and try to move it in or out. If any
movement exists, remove the wheel and inspect
the bearings and re-adjust the wheel. If the
wheel is operated for only a few hours with it out
of adjustment the bearings and hub could be
worn to the point that they would need to be
replaced. Re-adjustment and repacking of the
wheel bearings is covered in the manual
Maintenance Section. See Image Mnt-R-0234.
