Rear Wheel Tread Adjustment with Flanged Axle (16-Position)

IMPORTANT: The distance between the side wall of the tire and the fender must not be less than 50 mm (1.97 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. Additional tread widths can be achieved by using spacers.

When reversing wheels, they must be changed from one side to the other and turned over so that the arrow on the side wall still points in the direction of forward rotation.

After adjustment has been completed tighten wheel retaining bolts to specified torque (see Section "Break-In Period").

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 setting will save time and unnecessary labor.

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