MAINTENANCE

Telescoping members must have lubrication to operate successfully regardless if a grease fitting is provided for that purpose  
Telescoping members without fittings should be pulled apart and grease added manually to the inside of the outer telescoping 
member (

Figure 51

) 

For any additional maintenance of the PTO shaft, please refer to the manufacturer’s book that came with the PTO shaft 

Suspension Height Adjustment

1   Position the tractor and machine on level ground 
2   Connect the hydraulic hoses to the tractor and engaging tractor hydraulics 
3   Completely lower the machine by disengaging the straight steer function and opening all ball valves  Once the machine 

is completely lowered, close all ball valves 

4   Engage the straight steer function 
5   Open the Left Side Base End ball valve and the Rod End ball valve slowly and simultaneously (

Figure 53

)  The 

cylinders can be filled by opening the valves a little  This will provide more control while filling the cylinders 

6   Raise the machine until

A   TANDEM AXLES OR TRACKS: the measurement of both exposed rods of the left cylinders equals 14” (35 6 

cm)  This will leave the necessary average of 7” (17 8 cm) of exposed rod (

Figure 54

) 

B   TRIDEM AXLES: the measurement of the exposed rod of the left middle cylinder equals 7” (17 8 cm)  This will 

provided the average of 7” (17 8 cm) of exposed rod for all left side cylinders 

7   Close both valves 
8   Repeat for the right side cylinders 

The machine now has the suspension properly adjusted for operation 

Steering Axle Toe Adjustment

At the start of each season the steering axle toe should be checked for proper adjustment  Follow these steps to check and, if 
necessary, adjust the toe of the steering axle 

DANGER

REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NOT LUBRICATED! Proper 

lubrication must be done at time of assembly.
