WHEEL BEARINGS
After every 3 months of operation, remove the hub dust cap
and inspect the wheel bearings. Once a year, or when required,
disassemble the wheel hubs remove the old grease and
repack the bearings forcing grease between rollers, cone and
cage with a good grade of high speed wheel bearing grease
(never use grease heavier than 265 A.S.T.M. penetration “No.
2.”) Fill the wheel hub with grease to the inside diameter of the
outer races and also fill the hub grease cap. Reassemble the
hub and mount the wheel. Then tighten the adjusting nut, at
the same time turn the wheel in both directions, until there is a
slight bind to be sure all the bearing surfaces are in contact.
Then back-off the adjusting nut 1/6 to 1/4 turn or to the nearest
locking hole or sufficiently to allow the wheel to rotate freely
within limits of .001" to .010" end play. Lock the nut at this position.
Install the cotter pin and dust cap, and tighten all hardware.
