VIII. SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

TOE-IN

To correctly gauge toe-in, use a tape measure placed at one-half tire height on the front center seam of the front tire compared to the same measurement of the rear of the front tire (subtract the front measurement from the rear measurement - it must be a positive number). Correct toe-in should fall somewhere between one half and three quarters of an inch.

Toe-in is pre-set at the factory and should not have to be adjusted unless the steering cylinders are removed.

Difficulty steering one way versus the other may also indicate incorrect toe-in and may require adjustment. For further assistance regarding toe-in measurement and adjustment, contact the Hagie Customer Support Department.

NOTE:

See page 98 for instructions on adjusting toe-in. See also page 32 for information on recalibrating self-centering cylinders.
