Tires And Wheels (See FIGURE 13.)
Check the tires for damage. Check the tread and remove
any objects that will cause damage. Check for bent or
damaged rims. Check for loose or missing hardware. Re-
move any wire, strapping or other material that is wrapped
around the axle.
Make sure the drive wheel nuts are tight. Tighten the
wheel nuts in a cross pattern to the correct torque value
shown in the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.
CAUTION
Check all wheel nuts after 2 to 5 hours of operation:
when new lift trucks begin operation and on all lift
trucks when the drive wheels have been removed and
installed. Tighten the nuts in a cross pattern to the
correct torque value shown in the MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE. When the nuts stay tight for eight hours,
the interval for checking the torque can be extended
to 350 hours.
