10. - Maintenance and storage

7N037CUS_B

Wheel Rake

10.2 Maintenance

After the first 10 hours of use

- Check tightness of all bolts and nuts on rake 

assembly, particularly on rake wheels.

Check the center retaining clips on the rake wheels 

for tightness and adjust as necessary.

- Check wheel bolts for tightness. Tightening torque: 

120 ft lbs (163 daNm).

- Check all hydraulic fittings and re-torque as needed; 

using the chart for reference. Be sure to lubricate 
any o-ring gaskets.

If welding is required on this unit, do not allow the
electrical current to flow through the bearings.
Ground the welder directly to the part being
welded.
