4. Secure the tubing crossbraces to the welded lugs on the lower reach arms

with four 1/2” x 1-1/4” bolts and locknuts, and a fifth one where the braces
cross. Tighten securely.

5. Wheel hub assembly:

a. Remove any dirt or paint from spindle and hub.

b. Thoroughly pack wheel bearings and cups with a good grade of bearing

grease.

c. Place large bearing into hub and carefully tap in seal.

d. Slip hub onto spindle and insert small bearing.

e. Tighten slotted spindle nut until hub drags slightly. Back off nut about 1/4

turn until hub turns freely.

f. Install cotter pin and dust cap.

Note:

Installing tires may not leave you with enough clearance to position and attach
undercarriage once auger tube is raised. If so, install wheels after assembly is
complete.

g. Install tires and tubes on the rims provided. Inflate according to recommen-

dation on tire side-wall. Wheels may be mounted on hubs at this time with
six 1/2” x 1-3/4” wheel bolts.

6. Fasten upper lift arms

to lower reach arms
using two short
spacer bushings



(3/4” long), flat
washers, and 1" x



3-1/2” bolts and
locknuts.

Tighten

securely

. Lift arms

pivot on the spacer
bushings (Figure
