Dismantling the wheel
•
Put wedges under the wheel that will not be dismantled.
•
Make sure that the bale wrapper is properly secured and will not roll when the wheel is dismantled.
•
Loosen the wheel nuts according to the order shown in Figure 42.
•
Place the jack under and lift the bale wrapper.
•
Remove the wheel.
Mounting the wheel
•
Clean the studs of the running axle and the nuts from dirt.
- Do not lubricate the nut and stud threads.
•
Inspect the technical condition of the studs and nuts and replace them if necessary.
•
Put the wheel on the hub, tighten the nuts so that the rim fits tightly against the hub.
•
Lower the bale wrapper, tighten the nuts according to the recommended torque and the order shown in Figure 42.
Tightening the nuts
Figure 42 Nut tightening order
(1) - (6) nut tightening order, (L) length of wrench, (F) weight of user
The M18x1.5 wheel nuts should be tightened with a torque of 200 ft lbs.
Use a torque wrench to gradually tighten the nuts, alternating them diagonally in several steps, until the required torque is
reached. In the absence of a torque wrench, a normal spanner can be used. The wrench arm (L), Figure (42), should be se-
lected to suit the weight of the person (F) who tightens the nuts. Please note that this tightening method is not as precise
as when using a torque wrench.
Check the tightening of the wheels of the running axle:
•
after the first time you use the bale wrapper,
•
after the first run with a load,
•
after riding the first 600 miles,
•
every 6 months of use or every 15,000 miles.
