Rear Wheel Tread Adjustment With Flanged Axle

IMPORTANT: The distance between the side wall of the tire and the fender must not be less than 25.4 mm (1 in.).

The distance between the running surface (edge) of the tire and the fender must not be less than 60 mm (2.36 in.).

Rear wheel tread can be adjusted by re-positioning or reversing the rims or by reversing the wheel disks.

Rear wheel tread can also be adjusted by reversing the complete wheels. When reversing the wheels, they must be changed from one side to the other so that the arrow on side wall of tire points in the direction of forward rotation of tire.

After adjustment has been completed, tighten wheel retaining bolts to specified torque.

The relationship of the rear wheel disk and rim in obtaining the different tread settings is shown in the following drawings. A study of these drawings before attempting to change tread settings will save time and unnecessary labor.

IMPORTANT: After the first 4 and 8 hours of operation, retighten all wheel attaching nuts. Check tightness of these nuts frequently during the first 100 hours of operation.
