Maintaining the Tires and Wheels
Always have a qualified tire technician service the tires and
wheels of this machine. To prevent accidents, use a restraining
device (such as a tire inflation cage), the correct equipment,
and the correct procedure.
Important: There are 2 different tire-tread pattern and
wheel combinations; the left-side tires and the right-side
tires are different. Ensure that the tread direction of the
tire and the valve stem in the wheel are correctly aligned
before installing the tire to the rim.
1. Left-side tire
2. Forward
Torquing the Wheel Nuts
1. Ensure that the mounting flange of the wheel is flush
against the mounting flange of the axle.
2. Incrementally torque the wheel nuts for each wheel
as follows:
A. Torque the all wheel nuts to 100 N-m (75 ft-lb) in
the sequence shown in
Figure 87
3. Right-side tire
4. Valve stem

B. Torque all the nuts to 200 N-m (150 ft-lb) in the
sequence shown in
C. Torque all the nuts to 300 N-m (225 ft-lb) in the
