WHEEL BEARING LUBRICATION, CLEAN
& RE-PACK INSTRUCTIONS
Wheel hubs are equipped with a grease zerk for regular
maintenance. Annually disassemble and clean parts in
solvent. Pack the bearings with grease and reassemble
the bearings, tighten the castellated nut on the spindle to
the point where there is no end-play and a slight drag on
the bearings. Replace the cotter key with a new one of the
correct size, bend cotter pin over and re-install cap.
BEATER
When replacing the beater paddles, the sharp edges of
the teeth must lead in the direction of beater travel. On the
right half of the beater the teeth must point to the right side
of the spreader. On the left half of the beater the teeth
must point to the left side of the spreader. Always use H&S
special beater bolts, washers, and nuts when replacing
the tips. The top beater paddle bolts should be torqued to
75 foot lbs., and the bottom beater paddle bolts should be
torqued to 110 foot lbs.
