7.4 Adjusting Control Arm Pitch (forward or backward)
See Graphic: wc_gr003458
For most operators, the optimum position for the control arms (f) is for
them to lean (pitch) forward slightly—approximately 5°. Both control
arms should lean forward the same amount. To adjust the position of
the control arms, carry out the following procedure:
7.4.1 Loosen the jam nuts (b).
7.4.2 Turn the vertical linkage (a) as follows:
• Extend the linkage to adjust the control arms forward.
• Shorten the linkage to adjust the control arms backward.
7.4.3 After the control arms have been adjusted to the desired position,
tighten the jam nuts (b). Torque the jam nuts to 75 Nm (55 ft.lbs.).
7.5 Adjusting the Right-hand Control Arm (right or left)
See Graphic: wc_gr003458
The right-hand arm should be set to be perfectly parallel to the left-
hand arm. Should the arms come out of adjustment, adjust the right-
hand arm as follows:
7.5.1 Remove the nut and bolt (c).
7.5.2 Loosen the jam nuts (d).
7.5.3 Drop the horizontal linkage (e) down to clear the bracket.
7.5.4 Shorten the linkage to move the control arm to the left.
7.5.5 Extend the linkage to move the control arm to the right.
7.5.6 After the control lever has been adjusted to the desired position,
reassemble the nut and the bolt (c) and tighten the jam nuts (d).
