6.9 AXLE STUB ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION! To prevent personal injury when assembling the sprayer, raise the trailer and block in place
before inserting the axle stubs. Be sure the trailer is stable before any work begins. Never
rely on a jack or hydraulic devise to support a raised implement.
CAUTION! Always position the wheel track at the widest possible spacing to reduce the possibility of
tipping the sprayer. Only use the narrow settings when absolutely necessary. Use extreme
caution when turning corners, on hill sides or approaching the shoulder of the road when
the tracking is set in the narrow spacing. Remember, the centre of gravity of this sprayer is
high when the tank is full.
CAUTION! Make sure the Axle Stubs have not been extended past the Inner Clamp in the Axle
Housing. Extending them past this clamp could cause serious damage to the sprayer.
See Fig. 6.10.
Two lengths of Axle Stubs are available for the sprayer.
The standard stub has a wheel spacing of 72” to 120”
and the extended stub has a spacing of 88” to 152”.
1. Raise the trailer so the bottom of the axle housing is
at least 43” off the ground and block in place.
2. Slide the Axle Stubs into axle housing. Always
position the wheels at the widest possible track
spacing to reduce the possibility of tipping the
sprayer.
Note: The hubs are offset on the stubs to keep the trailer
wheels inline. Make sure the offset on the right stub is
towards the back of the trailer and the offset on the left
stub is towards the front of the trailer.
3. Adjust the stubs to the desired wheel track and clamp
in place using the six bolts as shown in Fig. 6.9.
ex.: If the wheel tracking is to be set at 88”, adjust
the stub so the outside of the hub flange is 44” from
the centreline of the trailer when installing single
wheels. The duals come with 11” or 15” offsets.
Add the offset to the stub dimension to get the proper
inner dual tracking width. To get 44” on the inner
dual, the stub must be at 55” or 59”.
