Wheel Bearing Adjustment
Wheel Bearing Adjustment Procedure (Double Nut Arrangement)
1. Prior to installing any wheel-end fasteners, make sure the spindle area is free of dirt and debris. As well, make
sure all nuts and washers are free of dirt. Clean mating surfaces are important for proper wheel-end assembly.
2. After properly installing the bearing cones and wheel-end seal onto the spindle, and the wheel-end is slid onto the
spindle, tighten the inner spindle nut with a torque wrench to 150-200 ft. lbs. to set the bearings and wheel-end.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE AN AIR IMPACT WRENCH TO TIGHTEN THIS NUT!
3. Loosen this inner nut to allow the brake drum to rotate freely. Backing off one (1) full turn is recommended.
4. Re-tighten the inner spindle nut to 50 ft. lbs. by hand using a torque wrench to position the bearings for final
adjustment. CAUTION: DO NOT USE AN AIR IMPACT WRENCH TO TIGHTEN THIS NUT!
5. Back the inner spindle nut off 1/4 turn.
6. Install the retaining fastener or fasteners onto the spindle according to the fastener used. If washers are used,
be sure they are facing in the right direction and are clean. Make sure any washers with dowels fit properly into
the mating holes.
7. Install the outer spindle nut. Using a torque wrench, tighten this nut to 250-300 ft. lbs. Resulting end play should
be .001” - .005”.
Note: If end play is not .001” - .005”, disassemble and repeat this procedure.
Electrical Maintenance
Electrical components on the 16k PLUS Bale Runner do not need regular maintenance unless wires or cable are
worn or broken. This section briefly outlines the function of the electrical systems and gives some basic guidelines
for maintenance and repair.
Basic Maintenance and Notes
• Always check the wires for wear from rubbing on different components. When wear is detected, move the wires
or shield them.
• When troubleshooting, always check the wires for good connections.
• Use the Electrical Diagrams to rebuild wires if needed.
