SECTION 5
Wheel installation
Clean axle pins and nuts of dirt contamination.
Check condition of pins and nuts, if necessary replace.
Place wheel on hub, tighten nuts so that wheel rim tightly fits the hub.
Lower trailer, tighten nuts according to recommended torque and given
sequence.
TIP
Wheel nuts should be tightened using a torque of 450 Nm - nuts M22x1.5.
Tightening nuts
Nuts should be tightened gradually diagonally, (in several stages, until obtaining the required
tightening torque) using a torque spanner. If a torque spanner is not available, one may use
an ordinary spanner. The arm of the spanner (L) figure (5.4) should be selected according to
the weight of the person (F) tightening the nut. Remember that this method of tightening is
not as accurate as the use of a torque spanner.
