SERVICE STEERING & BRAKES

NOTE: If the ends of the levers strike against each other while in the neutral position, move the levers to the neutral lock position and carefully bend them outward. Move them back to the neutral position and check for the recommended gap of 3-6 mm (1/8-1/4 in.).

If positions of the control levers are unequal, an adjustment is necessary.

Alignment Procedure

1. Adjust position of motion control levers:
