2. Adjustments
Phasing the Yokes
To reduce noise and prevent accelerated wear, the flex
arm gearbox yokes are set in phase. If replacement is
required, ensure the yokes remain in phase.
Castor cone spring tension nuts
Two back to back cone springs are used to keep the castor assemblies tight and reduce castor whipping action.
The double jam nuts that are used to lock the castor assembly in place may need to be adjusted in order to take
up wear in components of the castor pivot.The lower nut should be adjusted to the point that the cone springs are
flattened, and then it should be backed off one half turn. Next, the lower nut should be held with a wrench so it does
not change its position, while the upper nut is tightened down onto it.
3. Setting the Castor Wheels
4. Connection to Tractor
Adjust the drawbar length as recommended (540 or
1000 rpm). Adjust the height of the hitch clevis so that
the frame is as level as possible. Pin clevis to the
drawbar.
Connect the hoses to the remote outlets on the tractor.
The hoses have a color-coded ties on both ends to
easily identify them. Adjust the hoses in the hose
organizer to allow sufficient slack for turning. Do not
allow the hoses to contact the driveline or become
pinched.
Move jack to its storage location on left wheel standard.
