ADJUSTMENT

1. Temporarily tighten the axle nut to 36 ft. lbs. (48 Nm), then turn the drum back and forth alternately several times to properly seat the bearing and ascertain bearing stability.
2. Turn back nut ¹⁄₈ to ¹⁄₄ turn in order to obtain correct starting torque. Measure the starting force as shown.

   WARNING
   Starting force when measured at the hub bolt should be 1.87–3.20 lbs. (2.5–4 Nm) Make sure there is no free-play in the bearing.

3. Bend lockwasher.
