Tire and Wheel Installation
WARNING
Use a torque wrench to assure proper torque.
Insufficient torque can cause stud breakage and
damage the wheel pilots. Over torque can stress
the studs and strip the threads.
NOTE
All tire/wheel assemblies are mounted with the Valve
Stem facing outward from Hub and Spindle.
1. Remove the eight 3/4-16 Flange Nuts from the Hub.
Install the Tire and Wheel Assembly onto the hub.
The Pulvi-Mulcher uses 480/45R17 tires and should
be inflated to 73 PSI. See Figure 2-8.
2. Re-Install the 3/4-16 Flange Nuts and tighten to 50
ft-lbs using the sequence in Figure 2-7. Then tighten
to full torque of 220 ft-lbs.
