Inspect tires periodically for wear or damage. Tires with worn edges or distorted profiles require replacement. Tires with significant damage in the tread area or side wall, require immediate evaluation before placing the machine into service.

Replacement wheels must have the same diameter and profile as the original. Replacement tires must be the same size and rating as the tire being replaced.

It is extremely important to apply and maintain proper wheel mounting torque.

WHEEL NUTS MUST BE INSTALLED AND MAINTAINED AT THE PROPER TORQUE TO PREVENT LOOSE WHEELS, BROKEN STUDS, AND POSSIBLE SEPARATION OF WHEEL FROM THE AXLE.

BE SURE TO USE ONLY THE NUTS MATCHED TO THE CONE ANGLE OF THE WHEEL.

Tighten the lug nuts to the proper torque to prevent wheels from coming loose. Use a torque wrench to tighten the fasteners.

If you do not have a torque wrench, tighten the fasteners with a lug wrench, then immediately have a service garage or dealer tighten the lug nuts to the proper torque.

Over-tightening will result in breaking the studs or permanently deforming the mounting stud holes in the wheels.
