bolts removed previously.
7. Connect the hose on the front of the tank
(Figure 57).

Inspecting the Wheels/Tires

Check the wheels to ensure that they are mounted
securely after the first 8 operating hours and then
every 100 hours thereafter. Torque the front bolts
to 50-55 ft-lb (68-74 N⋅m) and the rear lug nuts to
40-60 ft-lb (54-81 N⋅m).
Check the tire condition at least every 100 hours
of operation. Operating accidents, such as hitting
curbs, can damage a tire or rim and also disrupt
wheel alignment, so inspect tire condition after an
accident.

Adjusting the Front Wheel

Toe-In

Check the front wheel toe-in after every
100 operating hours, or annually, whichever occurs
first. The toe-in should be 0 to 1/4 inch (0 to
6 mm).
1. Fill the tank with approximately 80 US gallons
(303 L) of water.
2. Check and fill all tires; refer to Checking Tire
Pressure.
3. Drive the sprayer back and forth a few times
to relax the A-arms, then drive it forward at
least 10 ft (3 m).
4. Measure the distance between both of the
front tires at the axle height at both the front
and rear of the front tires (Figure 60). A fixture
or alignment gauge is needed for the rear
measurement of the front tires at axle height.
Use the same fixture or alignment gauge to
accurately measure the front of the front tires
at axle height (Figure 60).
The front of the tires should be 0 to 1/4 inch
(0 to 6 mm) closer than the back side of the
front tires.

specified range, loosen the jam nuts at both
ends of the tie rods (Figure 61).

6. Rotate both tie rods to move the front of the
tire inward or outward.
Note: The tie rods should be the same length
when you are finished.
7. Tighten the tie rod jam nuts when the
adjustment is correct.
8. Ensure that there is full travel of the steering
wheel in both directions.
