RXA0056533-UN-29AUG01

1. NOTE: For Independent Link Suspension tractors in addition to the front wheels being straight, Independent Link Suspension axle must be level.

   Make sure tires are in the straight forward position by driving tractor in a straight line for at least 15.24 m (50 ft).

2. Verify that equal lengths of the steering cylinder are showing on either side of tractor.

3. Measure distance between center line of tires at the hub level in front of axle. Mark the point that is measured.

4. Drive forward until front tires are rotated 180°.

   NOTE: When measuring rear of tire, make sure both front and rear measurements are from same point on tire. If front measurement of tire was from center line, then rear measurement of tire must be taken from tire center line. When performing rear measurement the transmission will be in the way. Make measurement from tire to loader bracket on each side of tractor, then add the width of transmission 512 mm (20.2 in.).

5. Repeat step 3 at rear of tire at same point.

6. Determine the difference between front and rear measurements. The difference may be in either direction (toe-in or toe-out), but should be less than 3 mm (1/8 in.).
