Removal and Installation
Steering Wheel Sensor and TFD
This procedure requires removal of the steering wheel and also the steering assembly from the machine
in order to properly access the sensor/TFD. Even though it would appear that some of these steps could be
skipped during disassembly, the reassembly process would be very difcult.
1. Open the hood for the engine area and disconnect the main battery connector, and also disconnect the
engine battery terminals.
2. Loosen the nut securing the battery retaining bracket, slide the bracket away, and remove the engine
battery.
3. Disconnect the steering harness connector.
CAUTION: Do not hammer on the steering wheel shaft to
loosen the taper, as doing so may damage the
encoder inside the steering wheel sensor. Use
a wheel puller.
4. Pry off the center cap from the steering wheel to expose the
retaining nut.
5. Remove the steering wheel retaining nut and washer, and
use a wheel puller to lift the wheel off the tapered shaft. The
tapered shaft has a woodruff key. Take care not to lose it.
6. Remove the 3 screws securing the rear steering plate (above),
and remove the plate.
7. Remove the 4 screws that secure the front of the steering
assembly (right), and lift the assembly out the front enough to
access the E-stop and ignition wires.
