Anderson Group Self-Loading Bale Carrier – Operator's Manual 81
7.6 Maintaining and adjusting the axles
7.6.1 Assembling and attaching the wheels
Your bale carrier axles have washer nuts (model with the optional brakes) or tapered nuts (model
without the optional brakes), as shown in Figure 43. Table 19 shows the correct tightening torque
for the socket and wheel stud dimensions. The last two columns in Table 19 show the length of the
lever and the force to use when a torque wrench or pneumatic drill cannot be used.
The holes in the rim must be countersunk to fit the spherical part of the washer or the tapered part
of the nut. The nuts are tightened once the spherical part of the washer or the tapered part of the
nut is in the countersunk hole.
