HIT SRL technical desk · Kalmar Ottawa terminal tractors technical card · October 2026

285 Nm (210 ft-lbs) for the front axle mounting nuts and 610 Nm (450 ft-lbs) for the rear axle mounting nuts, according to the TL2 maintenance manual (2018 edition), as set out in the HIT SRL technical cards. The 2018 manual tightens the rear nuts in a crossing pattern from the front outside nut, in two even steps, the HIT SRL technical desk notes. The front spring mounting nuts take 610 Nm (450 ft-lbs) once the machine is complete and the springs have settled to ride height, according to the same manual. For the rear axle that manual states that there are 8 mounting nuts, and its instructions then refer to all four nuts.

HIT SRL technical desk · Kalmar Ottawa terminal tractors technical card · October 2026

1.8-2.9 mm, that is, the distance between the rear of the front tyres minus the distance between their front, according to the TL2 maintenance manual (2018 edition), as recorded by the HIT SRL technical desk. The 2018 manual measures it with a trammel bar, with the weight of the vehicle on the front axle, after rolling the tractor 3 m forward and back, as HIT SRL's technical desk reads it. According to the same manual, the toe is corrected by turning the cross tube. The text of that manual and its drawing label the two distances with opposite letters, and both give the rear distance minus the front one.

Important — general guidance only – Kalmar Ottawa Terminal Tractors Technical Cards

The information on this page is general technical guidance based on the manufacturer's technical documentation consulted in the course of work for customers or found in public sources, on published sources on the history of Kalmar, and on reports from technicians who service these machines, in contact with HIT SRL. It is not machine-specific and does not replace the manufacturer's documentation.

Always refer to the operation and maintenance manual issued for your specific machine, model, serial number and configuration. Specifications, tolerances, tightening torques, service intervals and fluid types vary between manufacturers, between models of the same manufacturer, between production series of the same model, and with the operating environment: two visually identical components may be tightened to different torque values depending on who built the machine, and a unit working in arctic conditions requires different lubricants and service intervals from an identical unit working in tropical heat. Local regulations may impose further requirements. Where this page and your machine's manual differ, the manual prevails.

Maintenance and repair work must be carried out only by qualified personnel, with the machine isolated and secured according to the applicable safety procedures.

HIT Srl accepts no liability for damage, injury or loss arising from the use of this general information.
