4. Twin wheel assembly - 2 part rim
Some Komatsu machines are fitted with a 2 piece wheel rim of
the type shown in Fig. 5. In this case the loose flange and lock-
ring are replaced by a single split flange.
Similar precautions are required to those for the 3 piece rim when
removing and refitting the wheel assemblies. However when judg-
ing the condition of the split flange, the dimension in Fig 6.applies.
Maintenance
Periodically remove the road-wheels, following the procedure de-
tailed previously and perform the following checks.
●
Remove all dirt especially in the area of the tyre bead seat
and check the condition of the rim. If there are any signs of
deformation or cracks the wheel must be replaced.
●
Check carefully the wheel attachment holes, if you notice
signs of ovalization or the presence of cracks the wheel must
be replaced.
●
If the fixing nuts or hub studs show signs of wear or corrosion
they must be replaced.
5. Wheel spacer
WARNING
Wheel spacers must not be used with radial ply tyres.
