Ballast
The Terminator® is equipped with weights in front (75 pounds each) and rear (125 pounds each) to provide
traction for tough jobs. These weights can be removed to reduce traction for certain jobs, and to transport the
Terminator® by forklift or truck or elevator. Wear gloves when handling these weights. Use caution to not
smash toes and fingers. Use weight procedures from OSHA.

Tricycle or Caster Wheelbase and Tires
The tricycle wheelbase allows better turning ability. The wheel bearings on the front caster roller require
lubrication with grease every 30 hours of machine operation. There are three fittings, two on the wheel and
one on the housing. When running over debris such as carpet, the carpet yarn will get caught between the
wheel and the housing. Clean out wheel and housing regularly.
The rear tires are solid rubber, tubeless, and require no maintenance. Over time, they may wear out and
need to be replaced (see the Maintenance section for replacement procedure). Before each job, inspect the rear
tires and lug bolts. Tighten the lug bolts as needed to 70 foot-pounds torque. It is important to keep the lug
bolts tight.
Wheel hub should be torqued from 250 to 300 foot pounds (ft.lbs.). Inspect and re-torque every 60 hours of
operation. Lift machine off of floor so no weight is on wheel when re-torquing pack nut.
