Wheel Bearing Lubrication/Wheel
Bearing Adjustment/Hardware
Wheel Bearing Lubrication--Fill wheel hub with
grease to inside diameter of outer races and also fill
hub grease cap. Never use grease heavier than 265
A.S.T.M. penetration (No. 2 grade). Grease bearing
cone by machine or by hand method. Force grease
between rollers, cone and cage. (If Ball Bearing
Hub: force grease between balls.) It is not recom-
mended that a pressure grease fitting be installed on
the hub.
Wheel Bearing Adjustment--Tighten the adjusting
nut with a 12" wrench, at the same time turn the
wheel in both directions, until there is a slight bind
to be sure all bearing surfaces are in contact. Then
back off adjusting nut 1/6 to 1/4 turn or to the
nearest locking hole or sufficiently to allow the
wheel to rotate freely within limits of 0.001" to
0.010" end play. Lock nut at this position.
Hardware--Periodically inspect all hardware on the
mixer and engine / motor. Loose hardware can
contribute to early component failure and poor
performance.
NOTE: Some hardware is used to retain parts that
have to move freely for correct operation of this
unit. These items include the guard lifter and drum
guard. The hardware for these items should be snug
enough to prevent excessive play, yet loose enough
to allow the parts to pivot freely.
