1. Wheel hub assembly:
a. Remove any dirt or paint from spindle and hub.
b. Thoroughly pack wheel bearings and cups with a good grade of bearing
grease.
c. Place large bearing into hub and carefully tap in seal.
d. Slip hub onto spindle and insert small bearing.
e. Tighten slotted spindle nut until hub drags slightly. Back off nut about 1/4
turn until hub turns freely.
f. Install cotter pin and dust cap.
Note: Installing tires may not leave you with enough clearance to position and attach
undercarriage once auger tube is raised. If so, install wheels after assembly is
complete.
g. Check that pressure of pre-inflated tires matches pressure indicated on tire
sidewall. Mount wheels on hubs and attach with six 1/2” x 1-3/4” wheel
bolts.

2. Mount wheels (1) to hubs (2) on axle extension (3) with 6 wheel bolts (4).
Note: Before mounting the wheels, check to make sure the hub and wheel mounting
surfaces are free from rust and debris.
3. Finger tighten the wheel bolts and verify that the wheel is sitting flush on the
hub. Torque the wheel bolts to 80 ft-lb (±10 ft-lb) of torque while using the
appropriate criss-cross pattern; refer to Appendix for specifications. If in
doubt, have a qualified tire repair service perform required maintenance.
