Inspecting the Wheels/Tires
Chec k the wheels to ensure that they are mounted
securely after the first 8 operating hours and then
ev er y 100 hours thereafter . T or que the front bolts
to 50-55 ft-lb (68-74 N ⋅ m) and the rear lug n uts to
40-60 ft-lb (54-81 N ⋅ m).
Chec k the tire condition at least ev er y 100 hours
of operation. Operating accidents , suc h as hitting
curbs , can damag e a tire or rim and also disr upt
wheel alignment, so inspect tire condition after an
accident.
Adjusting the Front Wheel
Toe-In
Chec k the front wheel toe-in after ev er y
100 operating hours , or ann ually , whic hev er occurs
first. T he toe-in should be 0 to 1/4 inc h (0 to
6 mm).
1. Fill the tank with appro ximately 80 US g allons

2. Chec k and fill all tires; refer to Chec king Tire
Pressure .
3. Dri v e the spra yer bac k and for th a few times
to relax the A-ar ms , then dri v e it forw ard at

4. Measure the distance betw een both of the
front tires at the axle height at both the front
and rear of the front tires ( Figure 60 ). A fixture
or alignment g aug e is needed for the rear
measurement of the front tires at axle height.
Use the same fixture or alignment g aug e to
accurately measure the front of the front tires
at axle height ( Figure 60 ).
T he front of the tires should be 0 to 1/4 inc h
(0 to 6 mm) closer than the bac k side of the
front tires .
