Tighten Bolts
• Before operating the unit.
• After the rst two hours of operation.
• Check tightness periodically thereafter.
• Use Bolt Torque Chart on page 6-20 for correct
values on various bolts.
• Note dashes on hex heads to determine correct
grade.
Note: DO NOT use the values in the Bolt Torque
Chart if a different torque value or tightening
procedure is given for a specic application.
• Fasteners should be replaced with the same or higher
grade. If higher grade is used, only tighten to the
strength of the original.
Tires
• Inspect tires and wheels daily for tread wear, side
wall abrasions, damaged rims or missing lug bolts
and nuts. Replace if necessary.
• Tighten wheel bolts - refer to Bolt Torque Chart.
• Check tire pressure daily, when tires are cold. Tire
pressures for specic tires are listed in the “Machine
Specication” section at the front of this manual.
• Correct tire pressure is important.
• Do not inate tire above the recommended pressure.
Caution
Tire replacement should be done by trained
personnel using the proper equipment.
Warning
After the rst 100 hours of use, re-torque all
wheel lug nuts.
