Tracking Adjustment Components

WARNING

The following adjustments are made with the engine running. Keep all body parts and tools away from rotating and hot components, and secure all loose cloth- ing.

4.With the body lowered and the FSC in NEU- TRAL-PARK,start the engine. With the engine at normal operating speed, check for movement of the drive wheels.

5.Lift the body to access the steering adjustment components.

NOTE: It may be necessary to tighten the FSC friction adjustment if the transmissions are moved out of neutral when the body is raised. Refer to Step 7 - Forward Speed Control Friction Adjustment later in this section for location of the FSC friction adjustment nut.

6.Using a wrench on one tracking adjustment nut, rotate the control rod clockwise just until the wheel on that side begins to move forward. Then, counting the turns required, rotate the control rod counterclockwise just until the wheel stops and then begins to move in re- verse. Rotate the control rod back clockwise half the number of turns required to make the wheel go from moving forward to reverse. The transmission is now centered in the neutral win- dow. Tighten the jam nut on the ball joint and repeat the same procedure on the other trans- mission.

7.Turn off the engine, and then lower the drive tires onto the ground.
