The front mudguards are adjusted correctly at the factory. With the fixing screws
the pretension (15°) is adjusted for the mudguards to prevent vibration when
driving straight. The fixing screws also limit the travel of the mudguard outside
and inside.
On some tractor models the flexible front mudguards with turning limitation are
fitted as standards with a factory-mounted front loader. It is also possible to fit
them afterwards to other models. When turning the wheels, the mudguards turn
less than the wheels and must be flexible in case they come into contact with
something.
• Check the maximum oscillation and turning angles so that the front
mudguards do not come in contact with, for example, the side panel when
you fit tyres.
When this adjustment is not needed the screw is in the maximum position.
IMPORTANT: Check that the end of the fixing screw does not touch the
guard of the tyre valve when turning the tyres to the maximum position.
• Adjust the fixing screw if the tyre touches the mudguard.
• If necessary, limit the turning of the mudguards by adjusting the stoppers.
• To adjust the height of the mudguards, change the fixing screws or the shafts
to the other holes.
In addition, the mudguards can be inclined forward and backward in their
fixing holes.
