few kilometers with the spreader, checking the degree of the hubs’ heating by
hand.
The following may be causes of significant resistance when turning wheels and
strong heating of hubs:
•
improper adjustment of bearing backlash,
•
contaminants found in grease,
•
damaged bearings,
The above symptoms require dismantling the wheel hub and removing the fault

•
the brakes of both wheels do not brake uniformly.
•
expander levers are not parallel to each other,
•
a repair of the brake system was carried out.
