ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE
With wheels removed from the unit, place a straight edge across the hub and measure the distance into the chassis 200mm either side of the hub. The two points measured should correspond with the drawing below (measuring points should be approximately 400mm apart. See below.)
The correct setting should be equal to 0.75mm narrower at the front.
To Adjust:
1. Loosen off the clamp bolt on the adjuster cam
2. Rotate either in or out as required
3. Repeat on the opposite side
Then check from wheel to wheel using straight edges. Measurement should be equal to 1.5mm narrower at the front. If there is any discrepancy, alterboth sides half the amount necessary, this will keep the axle square to the chassis.
For example: If the hub face to hub face is 4mm narrower at the front move both wheels out 1.5-2mm.
When all measurements are correct, tension clamp bolts to 70-80ft lb.
NOTE: On the tandem units, perform the above procedure on the leading axles.
When satisfied with the front axles, with the aid of two straight edges, align the rear wheel parallel to the front hubs.
