Adjustment Procedure
1. Hitch sprayer to tractor to help
stabilize unit.
2. Raise sprayer and place on stands.
Stands should be securely positioned
under frame rails, as far toward the
rear of the sprayer as practical.
3. If necessary for desired wheel
spacing, change wheel dish direction
by unbolting wheels and swap
between left and right sides on
sprayer. Refer to information in wheel
spacing chart to see if wheel dish
needs to be reversed. Tighten 7/8"
wheel lug bolts to 500 lb-ft. torque.
4. Loosen four 1" clamp bolts that hold
one axle. Using a suitable means, lift
the wheel slightly and slide axle out
until desired adjustment is reached.
CAUTION: Use care that sprayer
does not fall from support stands during
adjustment. Do not allow axle to separate
from sprayer during adjustment
procedure.
5. Verify that axle is not over-extended.
(The inner axle clamp should fully
contact the axle.)
6. After adjustment, tighten 1" threaded
fasteners to a torque of 640 lb-ft.
7. Repeat steps 4 through 6 for other
axle.
NOTE: Always adjust axles equally.
WARNING: Improper axle
adjustment can cause axle to
separate from sprayer, resulting in an
accident and personal injury. Check
fastener torques after first hour of use
and weekly thereafter.
