Checking and adjusting the steering wires

The steering is controlled by means of wires.

These can in time become slack, which implies that the adjustment of the steering becomes altered.

Check and adjust the steering as follows:

1Remove the frame plate by loosening the screws (2) and lift the frame plate by the rear edge.

2Check the tension of the steering wires by squeezing them together by the arrows as illustrated. It should be possible to push them together so that the distance between them is half as much, without using unnecessary force.

3If necessary, the wires can be adjusted by tightening the adjuster nuts on each side of the steering collar. Do not over tighten the cables; they should only be drawn in towards the steering collar.

4Unscrew the belt shields and the side protectors. The protectors are fitted on both sides of the machine.

Hold the cable, for example using an adjustable wrench, so that it does not twist.

If the adjustment is only made on one side, the middle position of the steering will be affected.

Check the wire tension on completion of the adjustment as per item 2.

5Screw on the belt shields and the side protectors. Remember to use the right screws in each mounting.

Adjusting the parking brake

Check that the parking brake is adjusted correctly by placing the machine on a slope with the front and rear axles disengaged.

Apply and lock the parking brake. When the machine does not stand still, the parking brake should be adjusted according to the following.

1Position the machine on flat ground.

2Make sure the parking brake is released.

3Remove the left-hand wing cover.

4Loosen the locking nuts.

5Adjust the play between the casing and the adjustment screw to 1 mm (0.040") when one pulls the casing. This gives a play on the pedal of approximately 40 mm.

6Tighten the nuts carefully to prevent damaging the adjuster screw.

7The brake should be checked again after adjustment

8Assemble the left-hand wing cover.

!

WARNING! A poorly adjusted parking brake

can result in reduced braking ability.
