Alamo FALCON 15/10 manual Hinge Pins, Lift Level Rods, Wheel Bearing

MAINTENANCE

Hinge Pins -

Check bolt, nut and collar that fastens hinge pin at rear of unit. See Image Mnt-R-0233.

Lift Level Rods

Each level lift rod holds approximately twice the weight of the machine. Careful inspection of each rod and component part is important. Look for excessive wear on the front and rear level lift pins and the drilled holes they ride in. These pins are made of hardened steel and should be replaced only with the proper pins.

Wheel Bearing

The wheel bearings were packed and properly adjusted at the factory. The wheels should be checked each week to see if they need adjustment. Jack the wheel off the ground. Grab the wheel and try to move it in or out. If any movement exists, remove the wheel and inspect the bearings and re-adjust the wheel. If the wheel is operated for only a few hours with it out of adjustment the bearings and hub could be worn to the point that they would need to be replaced. Re-adjustment and repacking of the wheel bearings is covered in the manual Maintenance Section. See Image Mnt-R-0234.
