(23)aWheel Coolant
|
Without wheel coolant the brakes can generate enough heat to burn the tire bead. This can cause the tire to explose with considerable force. |
|
Use a solution of 20% antifreeze (Ethylene Glycol) and 80% water.
To check coolant level:
On either later or earlier machines, position wheel so fill plug is level with centerline of axle.
Later Machines:
- 1. Remove fill plug and check coolant level. Level should be to bottom of fill plug opening.
- 2. If necessary, add coolant solution to bring level to bottom of fill plug opening.
- 3. Install fill plug and tighten.
Earlier Machines:
NOTE: On earlier drive wheels, a brake drum stud must be removed for filling and checking. Non-drive wheels on the earlier machines may not have a plug in the outside wall of the wheel. Addition of a plug will greatly facilitate the coolant level check procedure.
- 1. Remove fill plug or brake drum stud.
- 2. If necessary, add coolant solution to bring level to bottom of fill plug opening.
- 3. Install plug or stud and tighten. Use thread lock compound to prevent leaking from the stud holes.
