TRANSPORT WHEELS
Secure with 7/8” u-bolts and hardware.
Transport axle “toe-in” can be adjusted with outside stop set bolt (8X0665, page 5-5). Adjust inside
stop bolt 3/8” away from pivot plate when resting on outside stop bolt. This adjustment will allow
transport wheel to pivot inward while unfolding. Double lock stop bolts with 3/4” jam nuts provided.
AUTO-CABLE FOLD
Mount auto-fold pivot brackets ahead of welded stop on hitch frame. Do not fully tighten u-bolts. At-
tach left and right cable fold arms to pivot brackets with 1-1/4” X 14” pins and hardware.
Adjust pivot brackets to provide clearance between cable fold arm bottom guide and hitch tube. This
adjustment is made with 3/4” X 2-1/4” bolts (8X0112, page 5-18). This adjustment will allow cable fold
arms to pivot freely into transport position. Fully tighten mounting u-bolts after adjustment is made.
Attach tension springs with 3/4” eye bolts and lock nuts. Tighten eye bolts until spring coils begin to
separate.
CABLES
Install cable brackets and cable assemblies. Adjust cables so wings slightly lead the center. Tighten
attachment u-bolts, recheck tightness after first hour of field use.
Locate transport wheel assemblies as shown in chart below.
