Wheel Bearings
Wheel bearings require periodic maintenance and scheduled
replacement. More frequent service may be required under
extremely dusty or damp operating conditions. The best pro-
tection against failure is to keep the wheel bearings clean
and fully lubricated.

When replacing or repacking wheel bearings, always:
• Use an NLGI Grade 2 wheel bearing grease with a mini-
mum dropping point of 440º F (227º C).
• Clean all components thoroughly of all grease and
inspect for damage and wear. Replace all damaged or
worn parts.
• Always use a new grease seal and cotter pin.
• Always replace bearings and races as a set. Never mix
bearings and races. Always use the correct bearing set.
Contact Allmand for replacement parts.
• Pack grease into the bearing before installing it.
• Do not over-tighten or under-tighten the bearing nut.
Wheel bearings should only be tightened by hand (spin
the wheel while tightening). Back off the nut to insert the
cotter pin. The wheel should spin freely but without play.
• Pack some grease in the inner hub area and dust cap
and ensue the dust cap fits tightly.

hang down onto the ground.
