7.7 Centering the Steering Arms
See Graphic: wc_gr003458
The pivot bracket (v) is the connection point between the gearbox and
the control arm. When the machine is at rest, the pivot bracket must be
in a horizontal position and the right control arm should be in a vertical
position 90° to the pivot bracket. Adjusting the steering arms in this
manner is referred to as centering the steering arms. To center the
steering arms, carry out the following procedure:
7.7.1 Loosen the jam nuts (d) on the left/right pivot link (e) and turn the pivot
link until the left pivot bracket (v) is horizontal. Once the pivot link is
horizontal, torque the jam nuts to 75 Nm (55 ft.lbs.).
7.7.2 If the steering arms are not centered (90° to the pivot bracket), loosen
the jam nuts on the offset pivot link (w) and remove the bolt (x) from
the bottom of the steering handle. Adjust (turn) the handle mount (y)
until the steering arms are centered, then reinstall the bolts into the
bottom of the steering arms. Torque the jam nuts on the offset pivot link
to 75 Nm (55 ft.lbs.).
If the operator prefers more distance between the steering arms,
adjust the steering handle spacing. To do so, carry out the following
procedure:
7.7.3 Loosen the jam nuts on the offset pivot link (w).
7.7.4 Remove the bolts (x, y) from the bottom of the handle mounts.
7.7.5 Adjust (turn) the handle mounts to increase or decrease the width
between the control arms. Then, tighten the jam nuts on the offset pivot
link. Torque the jam nuts and bolts to 75 Nm (55 ft.lbs.).
