7.6 Adjusting Steering Arm Responsiveness
See Graphic: wc_gr003458
The responsiveness of the steering arms can be adjusted by changing
the connection point where the adjustable links (a) are mounted to the
steering pivots (r). The connection point of the adjustable links can be
moved between the front and the rear mounting holes (q) of the
steering pivot. Connecting the adjustable link in the front hole will
decrease the effort required by the operator to move the steering arms
but will increase the amount of travel of the steering arms required.
Connecting the adjustable link in the rear hole will increase the amount
of effort required to move the steering arms but will lessen the amount
of travel required. To adjust the steering arm responsiveness, carry out
the following procedure:
7.6.1 Locate the forward/reverse steering pivots (r) and the left/right
adjustable links (a).
7.6.2 If necessary, adjust the forward/reverse steering pivots (r) so that they
are horizontal when the machine is at rest. To do so, loosen the jam
nuts on the pivot links (q and y) and turn the links in or out to level the
steering pivots. Once the steering pivots are horizontal, torque the jam
nuts to 77 Nm (57 ft.lbs.).
7.6.3 Disconnect the attaching bolts (s) and nuts (t). Move the adjustable
link to the desired hole in the steering pivots and reattach the bolts and
nuts. Torque the nuts (t) to 75 Nm (55 ft.lbs.).
7.6.4 If the connection point of the adjustable links is changed at the steering
pivots, a corresponding change in the connection point at the upper
pivot bracket (i) will also need to be made. Disconnect the attaching
bolts (g) and nuts (h). Move the adjustable link to the desired hole in
the upper pivot bracket and reattach the bolts and nuts. Torque the
nuts (t) to 75 Nm (55 ft.lbs.).
