Inspect hub bolts after first use and 50 hrs thereafter. Hub bolts must be torqued to

Ensure that dust caps are firmly in place.
Check tires pressure regularly: 90 psi (620 kpa).
The wheel bearings should be inspected and re-packed annually with SAE multi
purpose type grease. Grease every 500hrs if hub is supplied with grease fitting.
Air valve should face away from the hub.
