Wheels - Check

NOTE: Depending on the manufacturing date of your machine the front wheel mounting hardware may be either lug
nuts or bolts with washers. Check the wheel torque that is applicable to your machine.
NOTICE: Small variations in the friction force between the wheel and the mounting hardware, such as lubricant, lack
of lubricant, paint, surface rust, thread variations, etc., will cause large variations in the clamping force. It has been
shown that the tension on fasteners or lug nuts is directly proportional to the angle of turn on a nut or bolt. Unlike
the automotive industry, our rims do not have a precision centering hub to locate and support the wheel and the low
length to diameter ratio of the studs make the preload even more critical.
NOTICE: Never use the minimum final torque value to set the torque for a wheel installation. Only use the torque
plus the additional degree angle turn provided in the procedure. The minimum final torque value is only for checking
the torque 10 h after a wheel installation or on a new machine.
Check the torque of the wheel nuts and bolts after the first 10 h of operation of a new machine or after a wheel install.
If the nuts and bolts are loose, tighten, and check after an additional 10 h of operation. Repeat until the nuts and bolts
remain tight.
Machine preparation
1. Move the machine to a level and firm ground.
2. Place the direction-of-travel lever and gearshift lever in
neutral position.
3. Engage the parking brake.
4. Stop the engine.
5. Slightly loosen (unlock) the wheel mounting hardware
when the tire is still holding the weight of the machine.
6. Start the engine.
7. Use the loader attachment or the rear stabilizers to lift
the machine until the wheel that you will remove is just
off the ground.
8. Stop the engine and remove the starter switch key.
9. Place wedges in front and rear of the tires that you will
not be removing.
10. If applicable, on both sides of the front axle wedge
blocks between the axle and the frame so the axle will
not swivel.
11. Remove all the wheel mounting hardware.
12. Remove the wheel.
13. Install a new wheel, observing the orientation of the
tread pattern.
