INSTRUCTIONS FOR ADJUSTING POWER STEERING CABLES (See Figs. 30-35)

Power steering cables can be adjusted to improve perfor- mance of steering system. The cable has an in-line adjuster that can be turned to shorten or lengthen the cable exten- sion. Location of adjuster is shown in figure 30.

NOTE: The position of the steering bellcrank is critical in the operation of the steering system. If it is positioned too high, the steering system will automatically disengage itself while driving, giving the operator the impression of wheel slippage. If the bellcrank is positioned too low, it may be very difficult to disengage the steering clutch while driving, or it may also disengage itself. The correct setting of the bellcrank will give optimum performance.

NOTE: Figure 32 shows the bellcrank positioned too high, causing clutch to disengage while driving and giving appearance of wheel slip.
