Wheel Hub Bearing Maintenance
Wheel Bearing maintenance should be performed at the
beginning of every season of use. Check the Wheel
Bearings periodically for excessive end play. If needed,
adjust or replace them using the following procedure:
1. Place the Frame on blocks or stands sufficient to lift
the Tire clear of the ground.
2. Remove the Tire.
3. Remove the Hub Cap, Cotter Pin, Slotted Nut and
Washer.
4. Remove the Hub. Clean and inspect the Bearings
and Hub Cavity. Replace any worn or defective parts.
5. Repack the Bearings using a high-quality Wheel
Bearing Grease.
6. Slide the Triple Lip Seal onto the Spindle. Do not
install the Seal into the Hub.
NOTE
The Triple Lip Seals should point away from the Hub to
keep contaminants out and allow grease to pass.

7. Slide the Inner Bearing Cone and Hub onto the
Spindle.
8. Install the Outer Bearing Cone, Washer and Slotted
Nut.
9. Tighten the Slotted Nut while rotating the Hub until
there is a slight resistance to wheel rotation. Then,
back the Slotted Nut off one notch, until the wheel
rotates freely without end play.
10. Slide the Triple Lip Seal to the Hub and install the
Seal in the Hub.
11. Install a new Cotter Pin and re-install the Hub Cap.
12. Grease Wheels Hubs every 50 hrs. See Figure 4-2.

Lubrication Maintenance
The SS16 Seeder is equipped with maintenance free
Bearings. These areas require no lubrication.
When the machine is not used for some time, exposed
portions of the Hydraulic Cylinder Rods must be cleaned
and covered with a thick coat of grease to prevent
corrosion, which will damage the seal.
