Steering Lever Adjustment
Adjust the steering levers when:
steering levers travel more than 18 cm (7") from the dash to apply the brakes;
the levers are not parallel when the brakes are applied; or
the brake adjustment nuts have been removed during the removal of the firewall.
To adjust the steering levers, tighten both
brake adjustment nuts (refer to DIAGRAM
BR-62) clockwise using a 1/2" deep socket
and ratchet until the levers are both 18 cm (7")
from the dash. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
Holding Brake Adjustment
1. Pull the left steering lever back.
2. While holding the lever, lift the spring loaded brake lever until it contacts the pin in
the steering lever.
The use of an improperly adjusted holding brake is a serious safety hazard, and
could lead to vehicle damage or personal injury.
