Check the wheel lugs. Tighten or replace any that are loose or missing. If a tire has
been removed for axle service or replacement, tighten the lugs in the order shown
to the following specifications:
A. Start all lug nuts by hand.
B. First pass tighten to 20-25 ft-lbs (27-33 Nm).
C. Second pass tighten to 50-60 ft-lbs (67-81 Nm).
D. Third pass tighten to 90-120 ft-lbs (122-162 Nm).
Note:
After the first road use, retorque the lug nuts in sequence.

Maximum recommended speed for highway towing is 45 mph (72 km/h). Recom-
mended off-road towing speed is not to exceed 10 mph (16 km/h) or less, depending
on terrain.
TRAILER WHEEL BEARINGS
The trailer axles are
equipped with a grease zerk fitting to allow lubrication of the wheel bearings without the need
to disassemble the axle hub. To lubricate the axle bearings, remove the small rubber plug on the grease cap, attach
a standard grease gun fitting to the grease zerk fitting and pump grease into the fitting until new grease is visible
around the nozzle of the grease gun. Use only a high quality grease made specifically for lubrication of wheel bearings.
Wipe any excess grease from the hub with a clean cloth and replace the rubber plug when finished. The minimum
recommended lubrication is every 12 months or 12,000 miles (19,312 km). More frequent lubrication may be required
under extremely dusty or damp operating conditions.
LIFTING THE PUMP
Remove suction and discharge piping from pump prior to moving. Make
sure the equipment being used to lift the unit is in good condition and has
sufficient capacity.
Note:
for approximate weights. Always
remain aware of the position of other people and objects around you as you
move the unit.
A central lift point is located on the top of the unit. Attach any slings, chains
or hooks directly to the lift point. Use the forklift pockets with care. Approach
the unit as perpendicular as possible to avoid any damage to the unit. Make
sure any obstructions are clear of the forklift tines before lifting.
DAILY WALK AROUND INSPECTION
Look for conditions that could hinder performance or safety, such as (but not limited to) oil/coolant/fuel leakage,
blocked vents, loose/missing hardware and electrical connections.
Visually inspect the engine fan belt for cracks, fraying, stretching and that the belt is properly seated in pulley grooves.
Replace the belt according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Note:
At the 500 hour/12 month service interval, it is recommended that the belt be removed and checked for wear.
While the belt is removed, inspect pulleys and bearings. Rotate and feel for hard turning or unusual sounds. If pulleys
or bearings need replacement, contact John Deere.
ENGINE AND PUMP MAINTENANCE
Poorly maintained equipment can become a safety hazard. In order for the equipment to operate safely and properly
over a long period of time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary.
NEVER
perform even routine
service (oil/filter changes, cleaning, etc.) unless the engine start switch is turned to “OFF” and the negative (-) cable
on the battery is disconnected. Attach a “DO NOT START” sign to the control panel. This will notify everyone that
the unit is being serviced and will reduce the chance of someone inadvertently trying to start the unit.
