5.7 Front Wheel Alignment
To Align the Front Wheels:
1. Drive the truck in standard mode (i.e. forward or reverse) to an open area
where the ground is firm and level.
2. Stop and apply the park brake.
3. Check the alignment of the front wheels. Both front wheels should be aligned
parallel to each other and to the sides of the truck.
4. If the wheels are out of alignment, select sideward mode for right travel by
moving the four-way direction switch to the right.
5. Wait for the swivel arms to finish repositioning.
6. Press the accelerator pedal to increase the engine speed and turn the steering
wheel anticlockwise to fully extend both front steering cylinders.
7. When the cylinders are fully extended continue to turn the steering wheel
against the resistance for 5-10 seconds (keep the engine speed up
throughout).
8. Turn the steering wheel clockwise to fully retract both front steering cylinders.
When the cylinders are fully retracted continue to turn the steering wheel
against the resistance for 5-10 seconds (keep the engine speed up
throughout).
9. Select standard mode for forward travel by moving the four-way direction
switch forward.
10. Wait for the swivel arms to finish repositioning.
11. Release the park brake and drive the truck forward at least 1 metre.
12. Stop and apply the park brake.
13. Check the alignment of the front wheels.
14. Both front wheels should now be aligned parallel to each other and to the
sides of the truck.
