Wheel Lean Cylinder. This cylinder is mounted at the front axle on the right side. It is powered by hydraulic sys-
tem and controlled by a lever in the cab. The wheel lean cylinder sets front wheels at angle to counteract blade
pressure exerted sideways against the front wheels when grading or moving heavy material. Also, sets front wheel
angle to prevent the front of the machine from slipping sideways and downward when the machine is moving
across a slope. Refer to TM 5-3805-261-10 for further description of operation.
