Steering Axle Toe Adjustment
At the start of each season the steering axle toe should be checked for proper adjustment . Follow these steps to check and, if
necessary, adjust the toe of the steering axle .
1 . Lock the straight steer so the steering axle wheels are inline with the straight axle .
2 . Raise the steering axle using a bottle jack or other device designed to safely lift the machine enough so both wheels
of the steering axle are not touching the ground .
3 . Before proceeding, place support items, such as jack stands with a sufficient weight rating, under the axle or the frame
to support the machine . The device lifting the machine should NOT be used as a support device Place blocking
or wheel chocks in front and back of each wheel of the straight axle to keep the machine from rolling
4 . Measure the wheel attached to the steering hydraulic cylinder first . From the vertical center of the wheel, measure from
the inside front of the rim to the frame . Then measure from the inside rear of the rim to the frame (Figure 44) .
5 . The inside front measurement should be 1/16” (1 .6 mm) shorter than the inside rear measurement .
6 . If adjustment is needed, loosen the steering hydraulic cylinder’s clevis clamp nut and bolt . The clevis is threaded onto
the rod of the cylinder . Using a wrench on the cylinder rod, rotate the rod for proper toe adjustment (Figure 45) . Do not
tighten the clevis clamp nut and bolt yet .
7 . Measure the other steering wheel . From the vertical center of the wheel, measure from the inside front of the rim to the
frame . Then measure from the inside rear of the rim to the frame (Figure 44) .
8 . The inside front measurement should be 1/16” (1 .6 mm) shorter than the inside rear measurement .
