3. Measure preload P of the taper roller bearings with a dynamometer whose cord is wound on the wheel axle (1).
The real preload P is measured on D= 245 mm and it must be within following range:
P= 13-20 N
If P < (13-20) N, remove shims.
If P > (13-20) N, add shims, choose them from the range available, so as to observe prescribed preload.
