Wheel Installation
It is extremely important to apply and maintain proper wheel
mounting torque.
WHEEL SLOTTED NUTS MUST BE INSTALLED AND MAINTAINED AT THE
PROPER TORQUE TO PREVENT LOOSE WHEELS, A BROKEN NUT, AND POSSI-
BLE SEPARATION OF WHEEL FROM THE AXLE.
Tighten the slotted nuts to the proper torque to prevent wheels
from coming loose. Use a torque wrench to tighten the slotted
nuts. The proper procedure for attaching wheels is as follows:
1. If not already installed, install shaft key (5) to shaft and
align with wheel keyway, install wheel and hub (3)
onto tapered shaft (4) .
2. Start slotted nut (1) by hand to prevent cross thread-
ing. DO NOT use a lubricant on threads or nut.
3. Torque the slotted nut to 150 ft. lb. (203 Nm).
4. Install cotter pin (2) , if hole in slots do not align with
cotter pin hole on the tapered shaft, continue to turn
nut clockwise to align nut with hole. Do not loosen to
align hole.
