◊ verify operation of key switch and rocker switch (remove cover for visibility);
re-grease with dielectric grease
◊ verify fender bolt torque; visually inspect for cracks

◊ apply silicone- or Teflon
®
-based lubricant (Magnalube
®
)
to pivot points and (2) platform bolts (see right)
◊ grease (8) grease fittings on linkage bars

Torque (tightening): Proper tightening of nuts and bolts is essential to optimal
performance of your ASL-700. Failure to apply and maintain the correct torque
could lead to loose wheels, broken studs and
potential (and dangerous) separation of the wheel from the axle.
Wheel fasteners
1. Start all nuts/bolts by hand.
2. Using a torque wrench, tighten in the sequence shown to the right:
3. Tighten all (5) nuts, in sequence, to 75-88 lbf-ft (102-119Nm)
per 6B4065.302 exploded hub view.
CAUTION! Be sure to use the correct wheel hardware. Use of incorrect hardware and/or
improper tightening could cause the wheel to become loose and even come off, leading
to equipment damage and/or personal injury.
