SECTION 4 POST ASSEMBLY
4.1 WHEEL TRACK ADJUSTMENT
Failure to check and/or adjust the wheel tracking will result in premature tire wear.
There should be approximately 0
– 3 mm (0 – 1/8 in) of wheel toe-in for proper operation.
Adjust the length of the rod (3)
to set the correct
angle of the tandem wheels as follows:
1. Drive the rake until it is on a level
surface and positioned straight.
2. Measure the distance between the cen-
ter of the inner tires at axle height.
The distance at the front should be
0
– 3 mm (0 – 1/8 in) less than the
distance at the back of the tire.
3. Loosen the jam nut (1).
4. Remove the lock nut (6), washer (5),
bolt (2), and retrieve the spacer (4).
5. Remove the rod end from the mount.
6. Carefully raise the side being adjusted
and pivot the tandem wheels as re-
quired.
7. Shorten or lengthen the rod until the
rod can be engaged back into the
mount.
Each 1/2 turn of the tie rod will change
the toe approximately 1.5 mm (1/16 in).
8. Reinstall the bolt (2), the spacer (4),
washer (5), and secure with the lock nut
(6).
9. Lower the side being adjusted to the
ground.
10 Drive the unit again, set straight on a level service, and confirm the adjustment.
