MAINTENANCE Wheel Toe Alignment Inspection The wheel toe alignment requires regular inspection and maintenance at the correct service interval as outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 73. Stop the machine on a flat level surface. Place the gear selector in PARK. Stop the engine and exit the vehicle. See page 40. 1. Turn the steering wheel so it is in the straight ahead position. 2. Place a chalk mark on the center of the front tires at approximately 10 in. (254 mm) up from the floor (or as close to the centerline of the front axle as possible. Tip: It is important that the height of both marks be equally positioned to get an accurate measurement. 3. Measure the distance between the marks and record this measurement. (We will call this 10 in. dimension A.) (254 mm) 4. Move the gear selector lever to Neutral and roll the vehicle ahead until the chalk marks are to the rear of the front tires (approximately at the centerline of the front axle). Place the gear selector in PARK. 5. Measure the distance between the chalk marks and record the dimension. (We will call this dimension B.) 6. The difference between dimension A and B is the toe alignment. The recommended toe tolerance is 0.125-0.25 inch (3.17-6.35 mm) toe out. (This means the measurement "A" in front of the tire should be wider than the measurement "B" at the rear of the tire. Chalk Mark Place Toe Adjustment Tip: Be sure the steering wheel is straight ahead before determining which tie rod needs adjustment. If the toe alignment is incorrect, measure the distance between the center of the vehicle and each wheel. This will determine which tie rod needs adjusting. Tip: During tie rod adjustment, make sure to use a wrench on both the tie rod end and the jam nut. Tie rod end damage could occur if the tie rod end is not held securely while loosening or tightening the tie rod jam nut. 1. Hold the tie rod end securely and loosen the jam nut. 2. Use a wrench on the flat spot on the tie rod and a wrench on the tie rod end. Rotate the tie rod to shorten or lengthen until the alignment is as required to achieve the proper toe setting. 3. When alignment is correct, hold the tie rod end securely and tighten the jam nut to 14-16 ft-lbs (16-19 Nm) torque. 113

MAINTENANCE
Wheel Toe Alignment
Inspection
The wheel toe alignment requires regular inspection and maintenance at the correct service
interval as outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 73.
Stop the machine on a flat level surface. Place the gear selector in PARK. Stop the engine
and exit the vehicle. See page 40.
1.
Turn the steering wheel so it is in the straight ahead position.
2.
Place a chalk mark on the center of the front tires at
approximately 10 in. (254 mm) up from the floor
(or as close to the centerline of the front axle as
possible.
Tip:
It is important that the height of both marks be equally
positioned to get an accurate measurement.
3.
Measure the distance between the marks and
record this measurement. (We will call this
dimension A.)
4.
Move the gear selector lever to Neutral and roll the
vehicle ahead until the chalk marks are to the rear of the front tires (approximately at the
centerline of the front axle). Place the gear selector in PARK.
5.
Measure the distance between the chalk marks and record the dimension. (We will call
this dimension B.)
6.
The difference between dimension A and B is the toe alignment. The recommended toe
tolerance is 0.125-0.25 inch (3.17-6.35 mm) toe out. (This means the measurement “A”
in front of the tire should be wider than the measurement “B” at the rear of the tire.
Toe Adjustment
Tip:
Be sure the steering wheel is straight ahead before
determining which tie rod needs adjustment.
If the toe alignment is incorrect, measure the distance
between the center of the vehicle and each wheel. This
will determine which tie rod needs adjusting.
Tip:
During tie rod adjustment, make sure to use a wrench on
both the tie rod end and the jam nut. Tie rod end damage
could occur if the tie rod end is not held securely while
loosening or tightening the tie rod jam nut.
1.
Hold the tie rod end securely and loosen the jam
nut.
2.
Use a wrench on the flat spot on the tie rod and a
wrench on the tie rod end. Rotate the tie rod to shorten or lengthen until the alignment is
as required to achieve the proper toe setting.
3.
When alignment is correct, hold the tie rod end securely and tighten the jam nut to 14-16
ft-lbs (16-19 Nm) torque.
