Good safety practices dictate that you never tow an implement unless the towing

vehicle weighs at least one-and-one half (1-1/2) times the weight of the towed

implement and its load. For any public highway travel and to be in compliance

with this rule, be sure that your tractor or truck is heavy enough to counterbal-

ance the total (loaded) weight of the towed implement(s).

DO NOT travel on public highways unless adequate warning devices are used to

alert other drivers.

DO NOT drive too close to ditches or creeks; be sure surrounding ground has

adequate strength to support the weight of the loaded running gear.

DO NOT attempt to ride on the pole of the running gear.

DO NOT tow running gear faster than 20 mph.

DO NOT tow running gears in tandem on public roads.

ALWAYS use a safety or locking hitchpin.

ALWAYS keep the towing vehicle in gear when descending steep grades.

ALWAYS travel slowly around curves and along sidehills to prevent tipping.

BE SURE the tires are properly and evenly inflated at all times.

BE SURE the wheel nuts and other fasteners are kept securely tightened at all

times.

ALWAYS follow state and local regulations regarding a safety chain and auxiliary

lighting when towing farm equipment on a public highway. Be sure to check with

local law enforcement agencies for your own particular regulations. Only a

safety chain (not an elastic or nylon/plastic tow strap) should be used to retain

the connection between the towing and towed machines in the event of separa-

tion of the primary attaching system.

Block the tires, front and back, so that the running gear will not roll when discon-

necting from the towing vehicle.

Before you attempt to operate this running gear, read and study the

following safety information. In addition, make sure that every individual

who operates or works with this equipment, whether family member or

employee, is familiar with these safety precautions. The Operator's Manual

warns you of dangers and should be read and observed closely.

This symbol is used to call your attention to instructions

concerning your personal safety. Be sure to observe and

follow these instructions. Take time to be careful.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

To ensure continued safe operation, replace damaged or worn-out parts with

genuine Miller service parts, before attempting to operate equipment.

DECAL LOCATION

LUBRICATION

GREASING

It is well to remember that a sufficient amount of oil or grease will prevent

excessive part wear and early failure. Grease fittings are provided on the

running gear at several important pivot points. Fittings should be lubricated at

least four times a year. Use a good grade of lithium base grease. Wipe dirt from

the fittings before greasing to prevent any dirt from being forced into the bearings

or pivots. Replace any missing fittings. To minimize dirt build-up, avoid exces-

sive greasing.

NOTE: In addition to the fittings, inspect and repack the wheel bearings at least

twice a year. See "Wheel Bearings" on next page.

Grease Fitting Locations:

1. Drawbar vertical pivot

2. Front spindle pivot (each side)

3. Ball joints (4 places)

4. Drawbar horizontal pivot

5. Tandem pivot (each side on tandem units)

LUBRICATION (continued)

WHEEL BEARINGS

Type of Grease: Use a good grade of Lithium Base Wheel Bearing Grease.

Carefully raise and support each wheel as repacking is performed.

Remove the hub from the spindle. Inspect the inner and outer cups in the hub. Be

sure both cups are seated against the shoulders in the hub.

Pack the cones with grease. A pressure grease packer is recommended. To hand

pack cones, force grease under cage between rollers from large end of rollers until

grease shows at small end. Fill the hub with grease to I.D. of the cup race, then

place the cone into the cup. Make sure the cone is straight!

WARNING: Failure to correctly lubricate bearing and maintain proper

lubrication may result in bearing damage which could cause wheel to lock

and come off during operation.

Install grease seal. Support the seal so as not to bend the case during installation.

Use grease to lubricate the seal lip.

Place the hub on to the spindle. Rotate the hub while doing this so that the seal lip

does not fold under as the lip goes on the seat of the spindle.

Fill hub cavity with grease.

Place the outer cone on the spindle and into the cup.

Assemble the washer and nut onto the spindle and tighten the nut to 15-20 ft/lbs,

while rotating the hub. back off the nut until it aligns the next available slot with the

cotter pin hole. Install the cotter pin and bend around the nut. There should be

between .001" - .005" end play.

WARNING: Failure to back off adjusting nut may cause bearing to run hot

and be damaged. Wheel could then lock and come off during operation.

Grease inside of dust cover and install dust cover.

Lower the wheel to the ground and repeat for the other wheels.

TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS

NOTE: Use these torque values when tightening hardware (excluding: Lock-

nuts and Self-tapping, Thread Forming and Sheet Metal Screws) unless speci-

fied otherwise.

All torque values are in Lb-Ft except those marked with an * which are Lb-In (for

metric torque value Nm, multiply Lb-Ft value by 1.355 or Lb-In value by 0.113)
