SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

AS REQUIRED

5. Standard Drum-Style Triple Wheels

a.For triple tire configuration, it is only permissible to install the inner wheel with the rim inset (narrow tread width).

b.Put a 51 mm - 76 mm (2″-3″) wood block under the wheel to be tripled.

c.There are sixteen nuts, 1, that retain the inner wheel to the planetary hub. Remove fourteen of the sixteen nuts from the wheel, leaving two nuts, 2, 180° apart on the wheel as shown. This will retain the rim to the hub and fit into the notches on the center wheel’s rim. Choose the two remaining nuts carefully so that the valve stem of all wheels will align for easier tire inflation later.

d.Using an appropriate lifting device, lift the center wheel rim and pilot it onto the planetary studs. Make sure that the two slots in the center wheel rim align with the two nuts remaining on the inner wheel rim.

DANGER: THE DRUM-STYLE DUAL WHEELS ARE EXTREMELY HEAVY AND WILL EASILY TIP TOWARD THE DRUM END OF THE WHEEL. USE AN APPROPRIATE LIFTING DEVICE AND SAFETY CHAINS WHEN HANDLING DRUM-STYLE WHEELS.

NOTE: Do not mix up the center wheel with the outer wheel. The center wheel has a dish welded in the inner diameter to bolt the outside drum to.

NOTE: Install the wheels so that both inner and center treads face the same direction.

NOTE: Install the center wheel so that the valve stem is in line with the inner and outer wheels.
