and Steering Lever Adjustment

Steering Lever End Play Adjustment - Step 2

1.Position the FSC lever to the most FORWARD position.

2.Loosen the adjustment nut on each steering le- ver actuator until end play develops between the lever actuator and the adjustment nut (slid- ing on transmission control rod).

3.Hold the actuator back as shown (against the spring pressure) and tighten the nut to the point where the end play is removed and then tight- en two additional turns.

IMPORTANT: If the adjustment nut is too loose (end play exists) excessive loads are placed on transmission internal control stops. If the adjust- ment nut is too tight (preferred condition), the max- imum forward travel speed is reduced.

Neutral Function Adjustment - Step 3

1.Move the FSC lever to the NEUTRAL-PARKposition (rear travel limit).

2.Start the engine (operate first at idle and then normal operating speeds) and check for move- ment of the drive wheels.

NOTE: If the engine will not start, check and ad- just the neutral safety switch (see item 4 below).

CAUTION

NEVER attempt to disconnect any safety devices or defeat the purpose of these safety devices.

Neutral Function Adjustment

3.If drive wheels are moving, stop the engine and adjust the FSC neutral stop by adjusting the FSC actuator clevis (see Neutral Function Ad- justment photo for clevis location). If the drive wheels are moving backward, remove the cotter pin and clevis pin and screw the clevis forward. If the drive wheels are moving forward, screw the clevis backward. Restart the engine and check for wheel movement (several “trial and er- ror” adjustments may be required). At this point it may not be possible to adjust both wheels stationary since the differential adjustment has not been made. (This is covered by the Straight Ground Travel Adjustment - Step 4.) In this case, the neutral adjustment should be made for one wheel stationary and the other moving for- ward slightly.

4.Check and adjust the neutral safety switch for closure and function with the FSC in neutral (the engine will not start when the switch is open). Use panel nuts on the switch body to adjust switch position for closure in neutral. Re- fer to adjustment description for Safety Switch- es in this section.
