GAUGING TOE-IN–
To correctly gauge toe-in, phase the cylinders first (page 41).Then use a tape
measure placed at one-half the height on the front center seam of the front tire compared to the same meas-
urement of the rear of the front tire (subtract the front measurement from the rear measurement— it must be a
positive number). Correct toe-in should fall between one half and three quarters of an inch.
Toe-in is preset at the factory and should not have to be adjusted unless the steering cylinders are re-
moved.
Difficulty steering one way versus the other or “darting” during operation, may indicate incorrect toe-in and
may require adjustment.
