Important: Do not over–tighten the wheel hub
nut because the bearing will wear rapidly.
2. Check the O–ring to assure it is not damaged, and
make sure it is seated in the inside diameter of wheel
hub (Figure 2).
Important: An O–ring that is damaged or
installed incorrectly will allow oil to leak out of
the gear case. If enough oil leaks out, mechanical
damage will likely result.
3. If pneumatic wheels are installed, set the tire pressure
at 241.3 Kpa (35 psi).
4. Install drive wheels with capscrews and lockwashers
(Figure 3). Do not try to install the wheels over the
shipping caps

3. Remove the filler plug from inside of each the gear
case (Figure 4). Check the oil level in the gear case: it
should be level with the bottom of the filler hole. If the
oil is level with bottom of the hole, reinstall filler plug.
Important: Check for oil leaks caused by a
defective or improperly installed O–ring or gasket,
and loose side plate bolts. Make all repairs before
adding oil to the gear cases.
4. If level of oil is low, fill gear case to point of overflowing
with SAE 80–90 gear lube and reinstall filler plug. DO
NOT OVERFILL.
