Axles
Adjustable Width Axles
The Farm King Model 1600 High-Clearance Sprayer
has adjustable axles to accommodate
different row spacing. The axle width adjustment
procedure follows:
1. Secure sprayer on level ground, attached to a
tractor with the wheels chocked and the tractor
in park. Ensure that NO fore or aft rolling of
sprayer can occur when elevating a tire.
2. Using a jack, hoist or forklift, raise one tire off
the ground.
3. Secure elevated side with jack stands, braces, or
equivalent, ensuring that the sprayer cannot
fall while the tire and spindle are moved.
Damage to the sprayer and serious injury or
death to personnel can occur if the sprayer falls.
4. The spindle assembly/hub and wheel is very
heavy and should be moved with the aid of a
floor jack or equivalent lifting system. Loosen
and remove the two bolts that hold the spindle/
hub assembly to the axle sub-frame. Slide the
assembly in or out to the desired row spacing.
Replace the bolts and nuts with new bolts and
locknuts.
5. Tighten all axle adjustment bolts to the torque
specified in Section E. Replace any bolts or nuts
that have signs of physical damage, especially
noting damage due to corrosion.
6. Remove jack stands and braces and lower the
unit to the ground.
7. Repeat for the other side making certain the
same center line distance is maintained.
IMPORTANT
Always replace the adjustment bolts with new bolts
and locknuts.
DANGER
Never attempt to adjust the tire width unless the
sprayer is secure, and on level ground. The liquid tank
should be completely void of fluid. Always secure
sprayer with jack stands, braces or equivalent when
working under an elevated unit.
