Maintenance

Tighten the wheel lugs once
a quarter to 70 ft/lbs. The
recommended tire pressure for inner
tube equipped tires is 45 PSI. The
caster wheel needs to be re-greased
every two years for continuous use.
Tighten chains every 12 months for
safe operation. To tighten chains,
remove the six (6) screws around
the perimeter of the cover, loosen
five (5) bolts on the motor mount.
Using a pry bar, tighten the chains by
pushing against the axle until there
is little to no slack in the chains, while
keeping chain tension, re-tighten
bolts. If you have any questions about
this process, give us a call.
Winch straps (on tugs equipped with
winches): Before each use, check
straps for damage or loose stitching.
If the strap is damaged, replace it
before use. Replace your winch straps
annually; there is cumulative UV
and oxidation damage that can be
invisible to the eye.

once a year for free—as long as you

The Lazy Susan option needs to
have the central bolt tightened and
moving parts lube with lightweight
oil annually. It is found under the
Romeo and centered under the
Lazy Susan. Failure to maintain this
may cause the failure of the bearing
ring. Loosen the locking nut and
tighten the central nut until tight,
but not so tight that the Lazy Susan
cannot rotate. Re-tighten the locking
nut after you have completed the
adjustments.
If the Lazy Susan's locking
mechanism fails to engage,
disconnect the wires (unplug the
pins) of the solenoid (Left side
when looking from the ramp side
and golden in color) and twist
counterclockwise to remove. On
older models, manually align the
Lazy Susan until you find the only
opening. Clean the opening below
of oils and debris. Replace the
solenoid and re-plug in the wires.
