7.00/7.60-15 6 ply rating..........40 psi

9.5 L-15 6 ply rating..........32 psi

11 L-15 8 ply rating..........28 psi

Lubrication

• All machines have a grease zerk on the bearing on

each end of the front and rear rollers. Pull type
machines have a zerk on each wheel arm pivot as
well. See Figures 4-1 and 4-2.

• Oil roller chains periodically.

• Repack wheel bearings annually.

• Grease all bearings every 20 hours.

• Grease wheel arms every 4 hours when machine in

constantly raised.

• When the machine is not used for some time, exposed

portions of the hydraulic cylinder rods must be cleaned
and covered with a thick coat of grease to prevent
corrosion, which will damage the seals.

Chain Tension

To adjust the transmission chain, first loosen the 5/8” idle
axle bolt and then use the clevis bolt to obtain about 3/8”
- 1/2” sag. Re-tighten axle bolt. Be careful not to over
tighten this chain. See Figures 4-3 and 4-4.

Adjust the chain between the front roller and transmission
to have approximately 2” of total deflection. See
Figure 4-4.
