HOSES, FITTINGS AND LEAKAGE
Maintenance
Check weekly for loose hose fittings, damage, and leakage--it is important to check entire
machine periodically.
BRAKE ADJUSTMENTS
Brakes are adjusted at factory and will need to be adjusted as brake shoes wear. Check
operation daily. Adjust at 25 hours then as needed.
SERVICE BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
Brake adjustment rods need adjusting in equal amounts. Jack machine up so that front tire
is off ground. Remove clevis pin from yoke. While screwing yoke, keep count of number of
turns for repeating the same procedure on other side until brake is adjusted.
Parking Brake Adjustment--Turning the knob on the parking brake handle clockwise will
adjust the parking brakes.
TIRES, LUGNUTS AND HARDWARE
DO NOT exceed rated pressure. To ensure long tire life and safe handling check tire pressure
weekly. Proper inflation pressure on pneumatic filled tire is 50 lbs/(3.5 Bar).
Proper Care--Inspect tires for cuts, slashes, or bulges. Tires with defects need to be replaced
or repaired for proper handling and safety.
Check that all lugnuts are tight weekly using a torque of 90 ft. lbs. (122 Nm). This is
important on new machines or newly replaced wheels.
Inspect all hardware is tight weekly (see Torque Charts Section).
Hardware Guidelines--Shear bolts are designed to fail under predetermined loads. Always
replace shear bolts with identical grade.
Fasteners should be replaced with the same or higher grade. If higher grade fasteners are
used, these should only be tightened to the strength of the original.
Make sure fasteners threads are clean and that you properly start thread engagement. This
will prevent them from failing when tightening.
When installing or replacing hardware, loctite 262 threadlocker is required to prevent
loosening.
