CAUTION
• When working on slopes or working with trailer, set the wheel tread as wide as practice for the job for
maximum stability.
• Support tractor securely on stands before removing a wheel.
• Do not work under any hydraulically supported devices. They can settle, suddenly leak down, or be
accidentally lowered. If necessary to work under tractor or any machine elements for servicing or
adjustment, securely support them with stands or suitable blocking beforehand.
• Never operate tractor with a loose rim, wheel, or axle.
IMPORTANT
• When re-fitting or adjusting a wheel, tighten the bolts to the specified torques then recheck after driving
the tractor 200 m (200 yards) and thereafter according to service interval. (Refer to G-24.)
