Wheel nut torque should be checked as part of pre-start checks to minimise downtime and faults
Use the following charts to ensure the wheel nuts on Agroplow deep rippers are torqued correctly. Agrowplow does not warrant faults relating to wheel nut tightness. It is the responsibility of the operator to check and maintain wheel nut torque on a regular basis.
