5.3.Adjustment of Wheel Tread
5.3.1.Change the wheel tread
The wheel tread can be adjusted according to different crops spacing or with different implements.
Never use a tractor before its wheel rims have been completely fixed.
The distance from the outer edge of the area illuminated by the direction indicators, the side lights, the rear sidelights
and upper reflectors, to the outer edge of the tires must not be greater than 400 mm; this rule is internationally
universal.
The data contained in the vehicle registration document regarding the maximum track widths for use on both urban
and rural public roads must be respected.
After any adjustment to the track width and whenever changing the wheels, tighten the nuts and bolts to the
following required tightening torques:
●
Front wheel
◇
Bolt M16x1.5= 271 Nm (27.6 kgm),
●
Rear wheel
◇
Nut M20x1.5= 550 Nm (56 kgm);
Before replacing any wheel, please make sure that the tractor can't move and is appropriately supported.
When working with compressed air to bed in the tire on the rim always use an extension line of sufficient length to
allow you to remain at the side of the tire. These operations must be carried out only by qualified personnel.
Notice:
When changing wheels or carrying out maintenance and repair operations, raise and support the tractor
using specific equipment only.
Fixed wheels
When the wheel rims are fixed, you can apply two configurations to the wheels, so that two optional front and rear
wheel treads can be available.
Important:
To change the wheel tread, please transpose the left and right wheels. In this way, the tires will not have
the driving direction changed.
