Check Front Axle Toe-In—Annually

N101645
N101645-UN-18JAN13

A - Marks

B - Centerline

C - Rear Spacing Dimension

D - Front Spacing Dimension


  1. NOTE: Check toe-in with machine at spacing most often used when operating sprayer.

    IMPORTANT: Failure to rephase steering system before setting toe-in can result in insufficient ball joint thread engagement on cylinder barrel.

    Rephase steering system:

    1. Use tread adjust “OUT” to set axles to widest position.

    2. Turn wheels full left, then turn steering wheel three additional revolutions.

    3. Turn wheels full right, then turn steering wheel three additional revolutions.

    4. Return axles to transport or operation width.

  2. Position wheels for straight ahead travel.

  3. Drive forward 6 m (20 feet).

  4. Place a mark at front and rear of each wheel rim, on centerline (B).

  5. IMPORTANT: Measurements taken at wheel rim, not at outside of tire.

    Measure from mark-to-mark diagonally to verify that wheels are straight ahead. If measurements are not equal within 6.3 mm (0.25 in.), turn steering wheel slightly to adjust tires and measure again.

  6. IMPORTANT: Toe-in is measured at wheel rim, not at outside of tire.

    Measure from mark-to-mark on rear of each wheel rim. Record measurement for rear spacing dimension (C).

  7. Measure from mark-to-mark on front of each wheel rim. Record measurement for front spacing dimension (D).

  8. Subtract front spacing from rear spacing to obtain toe-in dimension. Dimension (D) should be as specified, less than dimension (C).
