Bolt Torque Specifications
TIGHTENING WHEEL NUTS:
Torque 9/16”-18 lug nuts on wheels to 170 ft-lbs during initial operation of the header wagon. Check
for proper torque after every 10 hours of use. Failure to do so may damage wheel nut seats. Once seats are damaged it will become
impossible to keep nuts tight.
Always tighten hardware to these values unless a different torque or tightening procedure is listed for specific application. Fasteners must
always be replaced with the same grade as specified in the manual parts list. Always use the proper tool for tightening hardware. Make
sure fastener threads are clean and you start thread engagement properly.
Use these values when tightening all bolts and nuts with
the exception of wheel nuts.
