Maintenance
Inspecting the Wheels/Tires
Service Interval:
After the first 8 hours—Torque the
wheel-lug nuts.
Every 100 hours—Torque the wheel-lug nuts.
Every 100 hours—Inspect the condition and
wear of the tires.
Torque the lug nuts at the front wheels to 75 to 102
N∙m (55 to 75 ft-lb) and the lug nuts at the rear wheels
to 95 to 122 N∙m (75 to 90 ft-lb).
Operating accidents such as hitting curbs can damage
a tire or rim and disrupt wheel alignment, so inspect
tire condition after an accident.

If the lubricant level is low, remove the fill plug
and add the specified lubricant until it begins to
