STEERING LEVERS (Cont’d)
Adjusting Lever Freeplay
Read this adjustment completely to become familiar with
the procedure before beginning the adjustment.
Use the following procedure to adjust the steering linkage
so both steering levers have no free play against the
cam. To remove the free play, move the right cam to
match the left cam so there is no free play between the
two cams in the pocket of the detent bracket [C]. Use the
following procedure to adjust the the cam free play.
1. Only the right side cam is adjustable in slotted hole
in bellcrank (Item 1) [B]. The left side cam is fixed
and will not require adjustment. The cam should not
rotate on the mounting bolt. If cam rotates, tighten
the jam nut (Item 1) [A] against the cam while
holding cam mounting bolt (Item 3) [A].
2. Loose the cam mounting bolt nut (Item 2) [A] and
move the cam to the rear to get free play in the left
hand lever.
3. Tighten the cam bolt. Use a punch and hammer, hit
the cam nut (cam mounting bolt is still tight) until the
free play is removed from the left hand lever [B].
The cam must be centered in the detent bracket
pocket [C].
4. Recheck the torque at the cam bolt to be sure it is
still tight. Check again to be sure there is no free play
in the cams. If there is any free play the neutral
setting can not be obtained.
