3. Adjust the jam nuts to obtain a 0.25 to 1.5 mm (0.01 to
0.06 inch) gap between the spring hook and the OD of
the hole in the transaxle lever.
4. Tighten the jam nuts when finished.
Inspecting the Tires
Service Interval: Every 100 hours
Operating accidents, such as hitting curbs, can damage a tire
or rim and also disrupt wheel alignment, so inspect the tire
condition after an accident.
Check the tire pressure frequently to ensure proper inflation.
If the tires are not inflated to the correct pressure, the tires
will wear prematurely.
Figure 56 is an example of tire wear caused by under inflation.

Checking the Front-wheel
Alignment
Service Interval: Every 400 hours/Yearly (whichever comes
first)
1. Make sure the tires are facing straight ahead.
2. Measure the center-to-center distance (at axle height) at
the front and rear of the steering tires (Figure 58).
Note: The measurement must be within 0 ± 3 mm (0
± 0.12 inch) at the front of the tire then at the rear of
the tire. Rotate the tire 90° and check the measurement.
Important: Check the measurements at consistent
locations on the tire. The machine should be on a
flat surface with the tires facing straight ahead.
