4-11.3 Mounting Tire and Wheel
a. Make sure that all mounting surfaces are
clean and free of rust, dirt or paint. A wire
brush may be used to clean these surfaces
(See Figure 4-16) .
b. Position the inner disc wheel over the studs,
being careful not to damage the stud threads.
Make sure that the disc wheel is flat against
the mounting surface and that there is clear-
ance between the disc wheel taper and brake
drum.
c. Position the outer disc wheel over the
capnuts being careful not to damage the inner
capnut threads. Be sure the valve stems for
both the inner and outer tire are accessible.
d. Install the outer capnuts (ball seat) or flange
nut (pilot mount) and tighten to 50 foot-
pounds using the sequence in Figure 4-17.
Then tighten to full torque of 450 to 500 foot-
pounds for ball seat and 500 to 550 foot-
pounds for pilot mount, using the same se-
quence .
e. Torque will drop after the first 50 to 100
miles of operation. Check the capnuts for
proper torque after this interval and retighten
them. Loosen the outer capnuts and retighten
the inner and outer capnuts per steps c. to d.
WARNING
USE A TORQUE WRENCH TO ASSURE
PROPER TORQUE. INSUFFICIENT
TORQUE CAN CAUSE STUD BREAK-
AGE AND DAMAGE WHEEL PILOTS.
OVERTORQUE CAN OVERSTRESS
THE STUDS AND STRIP THE
THREADS.
4-12 WINCHES
Inspect the winch cable before and after every
usage. If frayed wires, nicks, kinks, worn spots,
breaks or any other sign of deterioration or dam-
age is found, immediate replacement is mandatory
before further usage. If the semitrailer is going to
be out in the weather for any length of time, it is
advisable to oil the winch cable to prevent untimely
rusting and deterioration of the cable. See Table
4-1 for lubrication specifications.
Inspect the winch mechanism thoroughly each
week to insure safe, efficient operation.
WARNING
DO NOT HANDLE THE WINCH CABLE
WHEN THE WINCH IS IN THE ENGAGE
POSITION. HANDS OR CLOTHING
COULD GET CAUGHT IN THE CABLE
AND BE PULLED INTO THE SPOOL
CAUSING SERIOUS PERSONAL IN-
JURY.
4-13 HYDRAULIC ENGINE PACKAGE
The hydraulic engine package should be in-
spected weekly to insure continued proper opera-
tion. The inspection should include:
4-13.1 Check the hydraulic oil level weekly, or
after any leakage. See Table 4-1 for proper
hydraulic oil. With all hydraulic cylinders in
the retracted position and with the engine
stopped, check the hydraulic oil level.
4-13.2 Check hoses weekly for cracks or leaks.
If a valve or line leaks, it should be replaced
immediately.
4-13.3 Check the engine oil each time before
using. Oil level should be maintained be-
tween the “ADD” and “FULL” marks on the
oil dip stick. For further maintenance proce-
dures and proper lubrication specifications,
please refer to the engine owner’s manual
that was supplied with the hydraulic engine
package.
4-13.4 Replace hydraulic filter with new filter at
least every 6 months or more often under
adverse conditions.
4-13.5 Use the fuel recommended for the en-
gine package installed on you trailer.
