NOTE:
When operating the hydraulic tread
adjust you will notice a squealing-
type noise. This noise is the
hydraulic fluid reaching the relief
setting. Do not be alarmed of this
noise during adjustment.

OPERATING INFORMATION
Operating the Hydraulic Tread Adjust
Before you hydraulically adjust the tread:
1. Make sure the nylon material on the tread adjustment brackets
on both the front and rear legs have an adequately lubricated
surface to slide on during adjustment (fig. 5.5).
2. Survey the surroundings and allow yourself enough room to
adjust tread between one and two mph either in forward or
reverse.
3. Locate the hydraulic tread adjust switch on the console panel
(fig. 5.6). To adjust the tread in or out, depress and hold the
corresponding side of the switch.
4. When all of the tread cylinders have stroked completely, release
the hydraulic tread adjust switch and resume operation.
5. To recalibrate toe-in: while driving forward slowly, turn the
steering wheel all the way one way until the steering cylinder
bottoms out; continue turning the wheel a little more to let fluid
bypass the cylinder. Then turn the steering wheel all the other
way and repeat the process. When wheels are then
straightened, steering cylinders should be recentered and
correct toe-in should be obtained.
Never adjust the hydraulic tread on a public
roadway. Make sure the sprayer is on level
ground where there are no ditches or valleys to
interfere when you perform the adjustment.
NOTE:
The hydraulic tread adjust bearing clearance has
been factory set. If further adjustment is required for
more or less clearance, additional shims will need
to be added or removed (see page 96).
