turn past this point. Re-center the cylin-
ders. If the measurements still do not
match, repeat the cylinder air bleed pro-
cedure.
11. With the cylinders centered, adjust the
tie-rods (located on the cylinder rods)
until they line up with the bolt-down hole
(located on the lower air bag plate).
12. Turn the tie-rod one more full turn to
achieve desired amount of toe-in.
•
When the rod ends are turned the final
turn (to establish the desired amount of
toe-in), the rod ends turn in opposite
directions to get each wheel in toe.
•
If the amount of threads showing on the
left and right rod ends differ by more
than four (4) threads, repeat previous
Steps 1-12. If the difference remains,
there may be a tolerance issue in the leg
assembly.
13. Pry wheel in to allow rod end securing
bolt to be inserted.
14. Insert the bolt and secure main bolt and
cylinder jam nut to the proper torque
specification.
Rear Wheels
NOTE: Rear wheels should be set to 0.0”
(0.0 cm) toe in/out.
15. Repeat previous Steps 1-9.
16.
(Non-AWS Machines) -
Set tie rod
assembly to match up with the bolt-down
hole (located on the lower air bag plate).
Insert bolt and secure to the proper
torque specification.
17.
(AWS Machines)
- Repeat Step 10, cen-
tering the rear cylinders at 4.4” (11.2
cm). Insert bolt and secure main bolt and
cylinder jam nut to the proper torque
specification.
NOTE: The cylinder sensors must be
calibrated for this position to be
accurate.
•
The machine should be driven and toe
(front and rear) rechecked.
•
Front steering cylinders must be in
phase when toe setting is checked.
•
Failure to hold toe setting could indicate
the presence of air in the cylinders.
•
Repeat the cylinder bleeding procedure,
if necessary.

additional assistance is needed.

MISCELLANEOUS
Air Bags
The Air Bags (one located on each leg)
provide a smooth, consistent ride quality. A
ride control valve increases/decreases
compressed air into the air bags to maintain
ride height position as load or wheel position
changes with ground level for each leg
independently.
NOTE: The front air bags are larger capacity
to accommodate heavier loads for
various front end attachments, yet
maintain a smooth ride.*
