INSTALL THE WHEELS
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.
Steering Wheels
Lubricate the bearings with multipurpose grease and in-
stall the wheel and bearings on the spindle. Install the
washer and nut on the spindle. Tighten the nut to 200 Nm
(150 lbf ft) while rotating the wheel. Loosen the nut until
the wheel rotates freely and the bearings are not loose.
T ighten the nut to 35 Nm (25 lbf ft) and install the cotter
pin at the closest slot in the nut. Install the cap for the
bearings.
Drive Wheels
Install the wheel on the hub. T ighten the nuts in a cross
pattern to the torque value in the MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE table.
OPERATING PROCEDURES FOR A NEW OR
REBUILT ENGINE
A new or rebuilt engine must be operated under special
conditions during the first 50 hours. These special condi-
tions prevent damage to the engine until the new parts
can wear and adjust to fit each other.
1. Make sure the fluid levels of oil and coolant are correct.
2. Start and run the engine at approximately one--half
throttle for 30 minutes for the first operation. Check the
gauges and indicators for the correct operation during this
first operating period. Check for leaks.
3. If the work conditions are slow and the loads are less
than 50% of the truck capacity, a simulated work condition
must be used during the first four hours of operation. Op-
erate the lift truck with a minimum load of 75% capacity.
Operate the engine through cycles from idle to full throttle
and back to idle. Avoid long periods of high engine speeds
with a light load during the first 50 hours of operation. High
engine speeds with a light load can cause damage to the
cylinders in the engine.
