Heavy-Duty Carraro Front Axle With Independent Suspension - Raven CRX Installation Manual

1.2.12 HEAVY-DUTY CARRARO FRONT AXLE WITH
INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION
Tractors with the heaviest type of Carraro front axle
with independent suspension must be fitted with a
special wheel angle sensor bracket (Figure 30). This
type of assembly requires a wheel angle sensor with a
much wider range (180°) in connection with the larger
wheel turn (blue coloured wheel angle sensor). The
wheel angle sensor should be mounted at the right
sight behind the front axle of the tractor (Figure 30).
Required parts:
180° wheel angle sensor

Wheel angle sensor bracket

M8 threaded stub with nuts

2x M8 ball joint

Carraro front axle wheel angle sensor bracket

Carraro front axle tie rod bracket

Method of mounting:
Install the wheel angle sensor to the bracket.

Mount the bracket to the front axle.

Set the arm of the sensor approximately 20

degrees off center
the ball and socket joint of the wheel angle
sensor are flush with the ball joint of the
control rod. This in order to prevent, when fully
to the left, the arm of the sensor and the
threaded rod with the ball joints scissors with
each other.
Cut the threaded rod to measure. The ball

joints are center to center 180mm long. Fit the
clamp to the tie rod and the threaded rod with
ball joints.
