Adjust Front Wheel Toe--in
NOTE: Before adjusting front wheel toe--in, make sure
that front wheel camber is correctly adjusted (see Adjust
Front Wheel Camber in this section).
1. Adjust front tire pressures to 12 PSI (82 kPa) before
checking front wheel toe--in.
2. Either add weight to the driver’s seat equal to the av-
erage operator who will run the machine or have an op-
erator on the vehicle operator’s seat. The weight or
operator must remain on the seat for the duration of this
front wheel toe--in procedure.
3. On a level surface, roll the vehicle straight back from
6to10feet(2to3meters)andthenstraightforwardto
the original starting position. This will allow the suspen-
sion to settle into the normal operating position.
4. Make sure that the front wheels are facing straight
ahead.
5. Measure distance between the front tires at axle
height at both the front and rear of the tires (Fig. 6). Front
wheel toe--in should be from 0 to 1/4 inch (0 to 6 mm).
6. If the front wheel toe--in is incorrect, adjust as follows:
A. Loosen jam nuts at both ends of tie rods (Fig. 7).
B. Rotate both tie rods to move front of tire inward or
outward.
C. Tighten tie rod jam nuts when toe--in adjustment
is correct.
7. Ensure that there is full steering travel in both direc-
tions.
1. Tire center line (back)
2. Tire center line (front)
3. Axle center line
