2.0 Service 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.
2.0 Service 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.
2.0 Service Bearing Lubrication - The axles are equipped with oil lubricated hubs. The lubrication procedure is to periodically fill the hub with a high quality hypoid gear oil to the level indicated on the clear plastic oil cap. The oil can be filled through the rubber plug hole in the cap. Recommended Oil- SAE 90 Hypoid Gear (Hypoid Rear Axle Oil) Seal Inspection and Replacement -Whenever the hub is removed, it’s recommended to replace the seals to assure that the seal properly seals the bearing cavity.

2.0 Service Straight Edge Abnormal Wear (Replace) Normal Wear Figure 2.7 Voltage in the system should begin at 0 volts. As the controller bar is slowly actuated, the voltage should gradually increases to about 12 volts. This is referred to as modulation. No modulation means that when the controller begins to apply voltage to brakes it applies an immediate high voltage, which causes the brakes to apply instantaneous maximum power.
2.0 Service Brake Drum Inspection: There are two areas of the brake drum that are subject to wear and require inspection. These two areas are the drum surface where the brake shoes make contact during stopping and the armature surface where the magnet contacts (only in electric brakes). The drum surface should be inspected for excessive wear or heavy scoring. If worn more than .020” oversized, or if the drum has worn out of round by more than .015”, then the drum surface should be turned.
