  • Page 115 LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE Every Year The following services must be performed every year. Adjust Toe-In (Standard 120” Axles) Measure Toe-In Safely lift the front of the Apache Sprayer so the front tires are slightly off of the ground. Turn the steering wheel so the front wheels are pointing straight. Measure and note the distance between the left and right tires at the front (1) of the tires and at the rear (2) of the tires.
  • Page 116 LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE Adjust Toe-In (120” to 160” Adjustable Axles) NOTICE: On adjustable axle machines, the steering must be re-phased before measuring or adjusting the toe-in. Rephase the Steering NOTE: This process will be easier with warm oil. Lift the front wheels off the ground. Turn the wheel to the right extreme and continue to turn 100 complete revolutions.
  • Page 117 LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE Adjust Toe-In Toe-in adjustments should be made at the ram end of the steering cylinder. Loosen the nut and bolt on the tie rod clamp (1). Use a wrench on the end of the ram (2) to increase (counter- clockwise) or decrease (clockwise) toe-in.
  • Page 118 LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE Winterize Wet System The product tank and wet system must be flushed before winterizing. See “Flushing Product Tank” on page 4-17.
