Maintenance

Check Tire Pressures

Service Interval: Every 50 hours
1. Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
remove key. Engage parking brake.
2. Check tire pressure in drive tires.
3. Inflate drive tires to 83-97 kPa (12-14 psi).
4. Semi-pneumatic caster tires do not need to be inflated.
Check Wheel Hub Nuts Torque
Specification
Service Interval: Yearly
Torque the wheel hub nuts to 285–350 N-m (210–260 ft-lb).
Note: Do not use anti-seize compound on the wheel hub.
Check Wheel Lug Nuts Torque
Specification
Service Interval: Yearly
Torque the wheel lug nuts to 122–129 N-m (90–95 ft-lb).

Check Condition Of Chains

Service Interval: Before each use or daily
1. Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
remove key. Engage parking brake.
2. Check the chains on both sides of the unit for proper
tension. The chains should be able to move up and
down 6-12 mm (1/4-1/2 inch).
3. If chains pop or snap see Jackshaft Drive Chain
