Drive the sprayer back and forth a few times to
relax the A-arms, then drive it forward at least
3 m (10 ft).
4.
Measure the distance between both of the front
tires at the axle height at both the front and rear
of the front tires (
).
Note:
You will need a fixture or alignment
gauge for measuring the rear of the front tires at
axle height. Use the same fixture or alignment
gauge to accurately measure the front of the
front tires at axle height (
).
The front of the tires should be 0 to 6 mm (0 to
1/4 inch) closer than the back side of the front
tires.
