CARE AND MAINTENANCE

STEERING CONTROL ADJUSTMENTS

A.To Adjust Neutral:

1.Remove the fender skirts from each side of the machine.

2.Block up the unit so that the Drive Wheels are off the ground.

3.Start the engine and run at a fast idle with the Steering control levers in the "out" position.

4.Loosen the locknuts tightened against the rod end ball joints in the Upper Linkage Assembly.

NOTE: One of these is a left hand nut and will have to be turned backwards.

5.Adjust the Neutral Position by turning the rod in the upper linkage until the wheel stops turning.

6.Retighten the nuts on the Upper Linkage Assembly and check to see that the drive wheel is still not turning.

7.Repeat steps 1-6 for the other side.

8.Shut off engine before removing the blocks.

B. To Adjust "IN" Position of the Steering Controls:

1.Remove the two front bolts, lockwashers, and washers which hold the fender cap.

2.Pull the boot from the hole in the fender cap, exposing the cast iron lever.

3.Using a 5/32" Allen wrench, turn the setscrew to adjust the stop.

4.Replace the boot into the hole in the fender cap.

5.Replace the two front bolts, lockwashers and washers.

C.To Align Handles:

Sit on the seat and push the control levers full forward and full backward. If the ends do not match, the handles may be adjusted as follows:

1.Locate setscrew stops in the steering control lever base which stop the lever in each direction.

NOTE: The one at the rear is the stop for FWD and the one in the front is the stop for REV.

2.Adjust setscrew stops so that handles line up together when shifted full forward and full reverse.
