FASTENERS
Looselyinstallallboltsconnectingmatingparts
beforefinal tightening.
When tightening bolts, they must be torqued
to the proper number of foot-pounds as
indicated in the table unless specified. It is
importantthat all bolts bekepttight.
Onnew machines, all nuts and boltsmust be
recheckedaftera few hours of operation.
When replacing a bolt, use only a bolt of the
same grade or higher. Except in shear bolt
applications, where you must use the same
grade bolt. Bolts with no markings are grade
2. Grade 5 bolts furnished with the machine
areidentifiedbythreeradiallinesonthehead.
Grade8boltsfurnishedwith the machine are
identifiedbysixradiallines on the head.
AllU-boltsaregrade5.
TIRE INFLATION
The use of proper air pressure is the most
important factor in satisfactory performance
and maintenance of implement tire. Under
inflation will damage the cord body of the tire
and cause a series of diagonal breaks in the
fabric sidewall area. Check the noted
operatingpressure not on the side ofthe tire.
Ifthe tire buckles or wrinkles,theair pressure
must be increased to the point where the
sidwallremains smooth whileoperating.
Check the air pressure every two or three
weeks and do not allow the pressure to drop
to a point where buckling or wrinkling of the
tire may be possible.
Note: Do not inflate tires beyond the
specified tire pressure.
