MAINTENANCE

Swing Around Cart Lubrication

There are 10 grease fittings that must be lubricated
with a good grade of lithium based grease after every
5 passes. See Figure 76-1.
•

There are 8 grease fittings on the bearing tube
assembly.

•

There are 2 grease fittings on the swivel yoke.

Tire and Wheel
Wheel Lug Nut Torque

Wheel lug nuts should be torqued to 125 lb-ft (169.47
N·m). See Figure 76-2.
Check the wheel lug nut torque annually, preseason;
at spring start-up.

Tire Pressures

Proper tire pressure is important! Operating with low
tire pressure will damage the tires and the drive train.
Check tire pressure several times a year:
•

Pre-season: At spring start-up.

•

During-season: Check tire pressure monthly.

•

Post-season: When performing fall winterization.

For the correct tire pressure refer to the decal on the
rim or the tire pressure chart. See Figure 76-3.

WARNING

• TIRES ARE SHIPPED AT A PRESSURE OF 30

TO 35 PSI (206 TO 241 KPA).

• BE SURE THE TIRES HAVE BEEN DEFLATED

TO THE CORRECT PRESSURE (SHOWN ON
DECAL) BEFORE THE TIRE IS USED.

NOTE

• When replacing tires be sure the ply rating of

the new tire is equal to or greater than the ply
rating of the old tire.
