the field wheels are raised off the road.

partially tighten the bolts.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure valve stem (C) points away from the wheel support.
NOTE:
The field wheels must be installed inboard on the
carrier frame.
2. Lower the wheels to the ground and torque the wheel bolts
to 160 Nm (120 lbf·ft) using the tightening
sequence shown.
IMPORTANT:
Whenever a wheel is installed, check the wheel bolt torque
after 1 hour of operation.
