TIP
Bearing life is dependent on working conditions of slurry tanker, loading, speed
of travel and lubrication conditions.
If play is felt, adjust bearing. Unusual sounds coming from bearing may be symptoms of
excess wear, dirt or damage. In such a case, the bearing and sealing ring should be replaced
with new parts (if they are not suitable for further operation) or cleaned and greased again.
Check wheel axle bearings for play:
•
after the first month of use,
•
every 6 months of use.
Check condition of hub cover, if necessary replace with new cover. Inspection of bearing play
may only be conducted, when the slurry tanker is hitched to a tractor. The machine may not
be loaded.
DANGER
Before commencing work the user must read the instructions for lifting and
adhere to the manufacturer's instructions.
The lifting jack must be stably supported by the ground and so must the axle.
Ensure that slurry tanker shall not move during inspection of bearing play of
axles.
5.2.3 ADJUSTMENT OF PLAY OF WHEEL AXLE BEARINGS
The wheel should turn smoothly without stiffness or detectable resistance. Adjustment of
bearing play may only be conducted, when the slurry tanker is not loaded and is hitched to a
tractor.
