Before checking bearing adjustment, make sure brakes are fully released and do not drag. Tighten inner adjusting nut to correct specified torque (50-60 Ft.

Align inner adjusting nut so short tang of nut lock will engage nearest slot on inner adjusting nut. If it is necessary to rotate the adjusting nut to make tang align correctly, rotate the adjusting nut slightly clockwise for barrel roller bearings(up to 1/8"). Install outer locknut and tighten to correct specified torque(175 Ft. Lbs.). Then bend long tang of nut lock over into slot of outer nut. This method of adjusting will result in the proper bearing loading, and wheel should turn freely.

175 ft/lbs??? I don't know if my torque wrench goes that high.
