to 700 ft.-lbs. (949 Nm).
2. Check wheel lug nuts (if equipped):
Keep lug nuts tight, retorque, replace if needed.
3. Check infeed conveyor tightness:
Check the tightness of the infeed conveyor. Make
sure the conveyor is running true. Adjust as needed .
4. Check discharge conveyor tightness:
Check the tightness of the discharge conveyor. Make
sure the conveyor is running true. Adjust as needed.
5. Grease yoke arm pivot bushings:
Grease yoke arm pivot bushings with 2 to 3 shots
of EP-2 Lithium type grease. Wipe off excessive
grease.
