Safety
WARNING!
Read the assembly instructions fully before
you assemble the machine. Make sure that you
understand the safety information and each
step of the procedure before you assemble the
machine.
Keep this manual with you and available
for frequent reference as you assemble the
machine.
WARNING!
Use a hoist when to lift machine components
that weigh 50 lb (23 kg) or more. Do not lift
machine components that weigh more than you
can lift without strain or injury.
WARNING!
Use lift equipment with a lift capacity that
is more than the weight of the machine
component. Put jack stands or wood blocks
under the machine to make it safe while you
assemble the machine.
WARNING!
Use the correct tools and equipment to
assemble the machine. The use of incorrect
tools can create safety hazards. A tool that
breaks or slips during assembly risks personal
injury. Repair or replace equipment or tools that
are broken or defective.
WARNING!
All lifting equipment (for example, straps,
slings, chains, or ratchet blocks) must comply
with the applicable local laws, standards, and
regulations. Wallenstein Equipment does not
accept responsibility for the use of unsafe
equipment and work practices.
WARNING!
Know the location of and keep away from
overhead power lines and obstructions when
you lift the machine. Contact with power lines
can cause electrocution. Contact with overhead
obstructions can damage the machine or
components.
WARNING!
Do not start or operate the machine before you
read the Operator's Manual. Make sure that
you fully understand all safety, operation, and
maintenance information before you operate
the machine.
Keep the Operator's Manual with the machine at
all times and available for frequent reference.
WARNING!
Make sure that all the fasteners are installed
and torqued to the correct specications. For
more information, see Specications on page
12.
CAUTION!
Keep the assembly area clean and free of debris
to prevent slips, trips, or falls.
IMPORTANT! Inspect the machine for damage from
shipping. Contact the shipping company immediately if you
find any damage to the machine.
Some components are attached to the skid with
screws. Make sure that you only discard the
shipping brackets.
Put the crate in a large, open area so that you can
access the machine components from all sides
during assembly.
Learn what the safety labels mean and know the safety
hazards.

Specications
Bolt Torque
IMPORTANT! If you replace hardware, use fasteners of
the same grade.
IMPORTANT! The torque specifications in these tables
are for non-greased or non-oiled threads. Do not grease
or oil fastener threads unless otherwise indicated. When
using a thread lock, increase the specified torque 5%.
Bolt grades are identified by the marks on top
of the bolt head.
These bolt torque specification tables give the correct
torque settings for common bolts and capscrews. Tighten
all bolts to the torque that is specified in the table, unless
otherwise indicated. Check the bolt tightness periodically.

Lug Nut Torque
WARNING!
Wheel lug nuts must be installed and kept at
the correct torque to prevent loose wheels,
broken studs, or possible separation of a
wheel from the axle.
It is an extremely important safety procedure to apply
and maintain the correct torque on lug nuts that secure
the wheel to the trailer axle. A calibrated torque wrench
is the best tool to make sure that the correct amount of
torque is applied to a fastener.
Tighten wheel lug nuts to the correct torque before
the first use and after each wheel removal. After a
wheel is installed, check and torque the lug nuts after
the first 10 miles (16 km), 25 miles (40 km), and
50 miles (80 km). Check the lug nut torque periodically
thereafter.
• Start all lug nuts onto the threads by hand.
• Tighten lug nuts in stages, following the pattern
shown below the Lug Nut Torque Specifications
table.
