2.1 Grease Conveyer/Auger Bearings

Grease the conveyor/auger bearings every 10 hours of operation and before storage. Use only two pumps of grease per bearing (Figure 2.1).

NOTE: Over lubrication of these bearings will result in premature failure.

NOTE: The conveyor has four bearings that need grease (two at each end). The auger is equipped with one bearing (at hopper end).

2.3 Tire Pressure

The following is to be used as a general guide for tire inflation. Figures can vary depending on specific brand of tire used. It is important that tires are inspected before and after unit is loaded. Start with the minimum pressure indicated. The tire should stand up with no side wall buckling or distress as tire rolls. Do not exceed maximum recommended tire pressure. 80 psi is the cold rating on the tire that is standard for the Speed Tender. J&M also recommends to rotate your tires front to back (not side to side) every 1,200 miles or 12 months (whichever comes first) for longer tire life. Firgure 2.3 below is a troubleshooting chart used to ensure the tires wear evenly.

2.4 Tightening Lugnuts

Torque lug-nuts on new and removed wheels to 220 ft. lbs. after the first 10, 25, and 50 miles of driving, then recheck torque every 50 hours or every year, whichever comes first.

2.5 Wheel Bearings

The wheel bearings need to be cleaned, inspected, and repacked every 12 months or 12,000 miles. Use a number 2 wheel bearing grease to repack the bearings.

Bearing Inspection and Service:

1.Jack up Speed Tender.

2.Remove wheel lug-nuts.

3.Remove wheel from hub.

4.Remove grease cap.

NOTE: Be careful not to dent or cut a hole in grease cap.

5.Remove the cotter pin, nut, and washer.

6.Wiggle the hub to take the outer wheel bearing out.

7.Pull hub assembly straight off the axle. If you want to reuse the grease seal, (which is not recommended), be careful to support the weight of the hub so that the end of the axle does not ruin the rubber part of the grease seal.

8.To remove the inner bearing, you must remove the grease seal.

9.Remove inner bearing.

10.Wash all grease and oil from the bearing cone using a suitable solvent. Dry the bearing with a clean, lintfree cloth and inspect each roller completely. If any pitting, scalding, or corrosion is present, then

the bearing must be replaced. The bearing cups inside the hub must be inspected.

NOTE: Bearings must always be replaced in sets of a cone and a cup (See bearing cup replacement on following page.)

11.Repack inner bearing with new grease.

A.Place a moderate amount of grease in the palm of one hand.

B.Hold the inner bearing, large side down, in your other hand

C.Using the edge of the bearing like an ice-cream scoop, work it in until you see fresh grease come out of the top side of the bearing.

D.Rotate 1/8 of a turn and repeat until the whole bearing is full of fresh grease.

12.Place the inner bearing in the back of the wheel hub and add a liberal dose of grease.

13.Position the new wheel seal in its recess and lightly set it with a hammer.

NOTE: Be careful to not deform the metal part of the seal.

14.Slide the hub assembly onto the spindle and push it back into position.

15.Grease the outer bearings by hand. (See step 11)

16.Slide it and the spindle washer onto the spindle and into the hub recess.

17.Install and bottom out the spindle nut, then back it off 1/4 turn.

18.Reinstall the spindle nut and replace the cotter pin with a new one.

NOTE: If the castle nut does not line up with the hole in the spindle, then loosen the nut slightly until it does.

19.Pack the bearing cap with fresh grease and lightly drive it into the hub recess with a hammer.

20.Reinstall the wheel onto the hub and torque the wheel lug-nuts.

NOTE: See wheel nut/bolt torque requirements located in section 2.4.

Bearing cup replacement:

1.Place the hub on a flat work surface with the cup to be replaced on the bottom side.

2.Using a brass drift punch, carefully tap around the small diameter end of the cup to drive it out.

3.After cleaning the hub bore area, replace the cup by tapping it with the brass drift punch. Be sure the cup is seated all the way up against the retaining shoulder in the hub.
