Note: There are three different tires that may be purchased with your machine. The correct measurement for the steering stop is given for each tire below:
- Measurement (5) for standard reclamation tires should be 51 mm (2 inch).
- Measurement (5) for wide flotation tires should be 76 mm (3 inch).
- Measurement (5) for wide flotation tires (Special European Order) should be 70 mm (2.75 inch).
- Measurement (5) for standard reclamation tires should be 51 mm (2 inch).
- Recheck the steering stops.
- Turn the steering wheel to maximum right.
- Observe the tire and the frame. The tires should not make contact with the frame. Repeat this step for the left side.
- Adjust the steering stops until the tires clear the frame. There may be some variance from these initial settings. This will depend on your machine and the tires that are equipped on your machine.
