11.8 WHEEL BOLT TORQUE
REQUIREMENTS
1. Initially check the wheel bolt torque at 10, 25,
and 50 miles and after each wheel removal.
Refer to the Wheel Bolt Torque Requirements
section in this manual for tightening
instructions.
NOTE: Torque wrenches are the best method
to ensure the proper amount of torque is
being applied to a wheel nut.
CAUTION
EXPLOSIVE FORCE HAZARD
To prevent injury due to possible
dangerous separation of wheels from the
axle, the wheel nuts must be maintained
at the proper torque levels. Properly
maintained wheel nuts prevent loose
wheels and broken studs.
2. Tighten the wheel nuts in three stages.
— First stage: 20 to 25 foot pounds.
— Second stage: 50 to 60 foot pounds.
— Third stage: 90 to 120 foot pounds.
3. Tighten the wheel nuts in a clockwise,
cross-axle alternating pattern.
11.9 AXLE BOLTS, TRAILER HITCH
BOLTS, AND FRAME HOLD-DOWN
BOLTS
Check the torque on the axle to frame bolts at
least once per year.
The front hitch section of the seed tender is bolted
to the trailer frame. This design allows the same
trailer to use either a standard bumper hitch
assembly or a gooseneck trailer hitch if this option
is available.
Check the torque on the trailer hitch bolts (1) at
least once per year. Tighten the bolts to 115 ft-lbs.
Check the torque on the frame hold-down bolts at
least once per year. Tighten the bolts to
40 ft-lbs.
