Aeris Hubcap Assembly Installation
• Place the hubcap gasket over the tubing before inserting it into push lock fitting on hubcap. If you
are installing a grease application hubcap, make sure to follow recommended manufacturing
guidelines for putting grease in bearings before you install the hubcap.
! IMPORTANT: Make sure grease is applied before installing grease hubcap if hubcap is a grease
application.
• Install the tubing into the push lock fitting on the Aeris hubcap. Push firmly on ensure the tubing is
fully seated. Now push the hubcap and excess airline back into the axle spindle until the flange of
the hubcap is flush with the hub. As the tubing is being pushed back into the axle make sure it
doesn’t kink or bend.
• Align hubcap gasket with bolt holes on hubcap and install bolts. Install all bolts and snug down
until hubcap is seated against the hub. When all bolts are snug use a torque wrench to finish
tightening bolts to correct specification. Tighten bolts using a star pattern as shown in figure 16.
Torque bolts to 12-16 ft lbs. See Figure 15 and 17
