Inspect the brake drum and wheel to verify that the brake
drum is fully-seated on the drum pilot. Rotate the wheel to
ensure it doesn’t interfere with the brake drum, which can
affect wheel and drum performance. Serious personal injury
and damage to components can result.
Tighten fasteners to the correct torque specifications. Do not
over-tighten or under-tighten fasteners, which can cause
wheels to separate from the vehicle. Serious personal injury or
damage to components can result.
