IMPORTANT: For information on differentiating between the fender versions, see “Two-Piece Front Axle - Distinction between Fender (Version 1) and (Version 2)” in this section.

The fenders may be adjusted individually. Several adjusting positions are possible. Tilt, width and height of the fenders can be adjusted depending on tire size. If the intention is to change between positions C and D, turn the part around (do NOT install it on the other side of the tractor). Then adjust the front-to-rear angle of adjusting arm (E). To make the adjustment, follow this procedure:

1.

   Raise front of tractor so that the front-wheel drive axle can pivot freely.

2. Turn steering wheel fully in both directions and pivot the axle in both directions to stop to determine the most suitable fender mounting position.

3. Adjust fender position so that the minimum clearances (see illustration) are met. There should not be any contact with the tractor frame.

   A = 40 mm (1.57 in.)¹, B = 60 mm (2.36 in.)¹

   IMPORTANT: If snow chains are installed on the tires, the minimum distance from the tires to the fenders (side wall to fender and running surface to fender) must be 100 mm (3.94 in.).

4. Adjust fender stop to prevent it from being seized at the edges with steering wheel fully turned and axle pivoting. Make sure that the stop contacts the tractor frame before reaching the fender.

5.

   Also adjust the steering stops to make sure that neither the wheel nor the fender come into contact with tractor components (e.g. fuel tank).

   IMPORTANT: Also refer to the following in this section:
