ADJUSTMENTS (continued)
REACH
The running gear reach can be adjusted from 105" to 150". To adjust the reach,
remove the (8) 5/8" x 1-1/2" bolts that secure the reach. Then slide the reach in
or out to the desired length, and resecure the (8) 5/8" x 1-1/2" bolts. There is an
optional 150" to 180" reach available and is standard on the 17 Ton running gear.
TOE-IN
The initial "toe-in" is factory set. However, if excessive wagon sway or tire wear
is noted the "toe-in" should be checked and readjusted in the following manner:
1.
Check ball joints, if loose retorque to 40 ft. lbs. (min.) for the
10-14 ton running gear & 100 ft. lbs. (min). for 15-18 ton running
gear. Tighten to next slot in nut and replace the cotter pin.
2.
Adjust the length A1 to within 1/16" of length A2.
3.
Adjust the tie rod length, by loosening the nuts and rotating the
tube, to make length B1 equal to length B2.
4.
Equally adjust the tie rod length, by rotating the tubes, so that
length C is 1/4" to 1/2" shorter than length D.
5.
Retighten the nuts on the tie rod tubes.
