Adjustment Procedure For The Toe-In
Illustration 1 g01426996
Typical example of the front drive and steering axle (1) Tie rod nut (2) Locknut (3) Adjustment rod (4) Ball joint (5) Cylinder rod
Raise the front wheels slightly off the ground.
Install sufficient blocking under the frame and lower the machine to the blocking.
Tighten the ball joint (4) to 300 N m (221 lb ft).
Tighten the tie rod nut (1) to 280 N m (207 lb ft).
Position the cylinder rod (5) until dimension (A) is equal on both sides.
Loosen the locknut (2) .
Illustration 2 g01442651
Typical example (D) 500 mm (19.7 inch)
Put two equal 1000 mm (39.4 inch) linear bars on the wheel hubs and lock the bars with two nuts on the wheel stud.Note: The two bars should be bolted at the middle so that the bars are perpendicular to the supporting surface and parallel to the pinion shaft. Align the two bars.
Illustration 3 g01442654
Typical example (B) Distance in front of the axle from the bar to the bar (C) Distance behind the axle from the bar to the bar (E) Diagonal distance from the bar to the bar (F) Diagonal distance from the bar to the bar
Measure the distance (B) and (C) between the ends of the bars. Measure the distance (E) and (F) between the ends of the bars.
Adjust the rods (3) until distance (B) and distance (C) are equal. Adjust the angle until distance (E) and distance (F) are equal.
Repeat Step 9 until no adjustment is required.
Adjust the rods (3) until dimension (B) is less then dimension (C) by 0.0 to 5.0 mm ( 0.0 to 0.19 inch).
Verify that the distance (E) and distance (F) are still equal. Verify that distance (B) is less then dimension (C) by 0.0 to 5.0 mm ( 0.0 to 0.19 inch).
Tighten the locknuts (2) to 250 N m (185 lb ft).
Perform steps 3 through 13 for the opposite side.
Remove the blocking and lower the machine to the ground.
