12. Measure distance between marks (D) on front
of tires
13. If difference is greater than 1/4 in. (6.5 mm),
loosen tie rod nuts on both tie rods.
14. Turn each tie rod the same number of turns
until difference is between 1/4 in. (6.5 mm) and
1/8 in. (3.25mm).
15. Tighten nuts to 210 ft. lb. (285 N.m).

CHECK OIL LINES AND FITTINGS
WARNING: Escaping fluid under pressure can
penetrate the skin causing serious
injury. Avoid the hazard by reliev-
ing pressure before disconnecting
hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all
connections before applying pres-
sure. Search for leaks with a piece
of cardboard. Protect hands and
body from high pressure fluid.
If an accident occurs, see a doctor
immediately. Any fluid injected into
the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours or gan-
grene may result.
Check all oil lines, hoses, and fittings regularly for
leaks or damage. Make sure all clamps are in
position and tight. Make sure hoses are not twisted
or touching moving machine parts. If abrasion or
wear occurs, replace immediately.
Tubing with dents may cause the oil to overheat. If
you find tubing with dents, install new tubing
immediately.
When tightening connections, use two wrenches to
prevent bending or breaking tubing and fittings.
