MAINTENANCE/SERVICE

WHEELS AND TIRES (continued)

Wheel Alignment

Soil conditions may make it necessary to change

the alignment of the left wheel to keep the
windrower trailing at approximately 90

° to the line

of travel.

NOTE: For 36 ft. units, see "Stabilizer Spring

Adjustment" in this section.

To adjust left wheel alignment:

1. Loosen two bolts (A).

2. If machine runs ahead, loosen adjuster nut (B)

and tighten adjuster nut (C) to angle wheel

further left.

3. If machine trails back, loosen adjuster nut (C)

and tighten adjuster nut (B) to angle wheel

further right.

4. Tighten bolts (A) and adjuster nut to secure the

position.

IMPORTANT: It is not normally necessary to

adjust the alignment of the right hand wheel.

However, if operating in steep hills it is important to

keep the left and right wheels parallel to prevent

the machine from running ahead. Under these

circumstances, it may be necessary to adjust the

right wheel alignment.

To adjust right wheel alignment:

1. Add washers (D) to right wheel cylinder

assembly to angle the right wheel further left.

NOTE: Spare washers are stored at pin (E).

2. Remove washers (D) to angle the right wheel

further right.

3. Level cutterbar if required. See "Levelling

Cutterbar" page 26.

IMPORTANT: Do not add or remove washers (D)

in an attempt to level cutterbar.
