Mounting Wheels
55. Position a wheel on the hub from which it was
dismounted.
Refer to Figure 122
56. Start all lug nuts by hand. Choose a bolt stud to
designate position #1.
57. Torque in stages, setting each lug nut to the
specified torque in the order shown in the figure:
Stage 1: 27-33 N-M (20-25 ft-lbs)
Stage 2: 74-80 N-M (55-60 ft-lbs)
Stage 3: 114-127 N-M (85-95 ft-lbs)
Note: This staging and ordering of tightening is strongly
recommended to ensure proper seating of wheel
against hub.
58. Repeat step 56 and step 57 for the other wheel.
Test and Adjust Brakes
While the cart axle is still elevated, test the service brake
system.
59. Hitch a tractor equipped with trailer brake remotes.
Connect the braking systems. Put the tractor in Park,
but release any brakes that operate the trailer
service brakes.
60. Have someone spin one brake-equipped cart wheel,
and stand clear.
61. Slowly engage the tractor service brakes. If the
wheel does not stop spinning, this may merely
indicate that the self-adjusters have not yet seated.
Cycle a second time.
62. Check for unusual noises and failure to brake. Check
that the wheel spins freely with brakes released.
63. Spin the other cart wheel. Stop it with the tractor
brakes. Check braking action. The self-adjusters
may already be seated for this wheel.
64. Check tire inflation, and lower cart onto its wheels.
