Adjusting Axle Width
NOTE: Support stands and chock blocks are
required when adjusting axle width.
Move the tractor and fertilizer applicator to a flat level
surface.
Stop the engine, engage the park brake and leave the
operator’s position. (See “Leaving The Operator’s
Position” on page 45.)
Place chock blocks in front and behind the tractor tires to
prevent tractor and fertilizer applicator from moving when
adjusting axle width.
Figure 13
Using approved chains / straps (Item 1) [Figure 13] and
lifting devices, raise one tire off the ground.
Place a support stand (Item 2) [Figure 13] under
elevated side of the fertilizer applicator.
Lower the fertilizer applicator down onto the support
stands (leaving chains, straps and lifting devices
installed) while adjusting axle width.
The spindle assembly/hub and wheel is very heavy and
should be moved with the aid of a floor jack or equivalent
lifting system.
