Instructions for Rear Wheel Tread Adjustment with Rims for 2, 8 and 16 Positions - Flanged Axle

IMPORTANT: After a tread adjustment, tighten all wheel bolts and wheel nuts to the specified torque. Check the torque on the wheel nuts and wheel bolts after 4 and 8 hours of operation and also frequently during the next 100 hours of operation.

IMPORTANT: After adjusting tread, check that the wheels can turn freely.

Do NOT let tires come into contact with draft links or lift links. The gap between lift links and tires can be increased by installing the lift links in the front holes of the draft links.

When draft links are raised (even if no implement is attached), the stabilizer bars, whether hydraulic or mechanical, must be locked.

If there is still contact with the draft links or lift links despite all these measures, tread width must be increased.

IMPORTANT: The distance between the side wall of the tire and the fender should not be less than 40 mm (1.57 in.)¹.

The distance between the running surface (edge) of the tire and the fender must not be less than 60 mm (2.36 in.)¹.

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.).

The tread width can be changed by mounting the complete tires on the other tractor side. In doing so, maintain the rolling direction of the tires.

Rear-wheels with rims for 8 and 16 positions

Wheel tread can be adjusted by repositioning or reversing the wheel rims.

In addition, the complete wheel can be installed on the other side of the tractor. In doing so, maintain the rolling direction of the tires.

IMPORTANT: The following tables apply only for wheels that have standard rims. Non-standard rims may be pressed in to different depths. In consequence, the values shown in the tables will NOT be valid.

NOTE: Before the tread adjustment, pay attention to the position of the wheel dish relative to the rim of the rear wheel. See illustrations accompanying the tread width tables on the following pages.
