FRONT WHEEL ADJUSTMENTS
Check the front wheels to ensure that the turning
radius of the unit is equal in both directions. Turn the
wheels all the way to the left. Measure the angle of
the wheel to the frame. Turn the wheel all the way to
the right and repeat the measurement. The angles
shall be equal.

hydraulic pressure. If not properly adjusted,
serious damage may occur to steering com¬
ponents.

Cub Cadef dealer.
PIVOT BAR ADJUSTMENT BOLTS

the front axle. If play is discovered, the pivot
bar adjustment bolts must be adjusted.
If play is discovered between the front axle and the
pivot bar adjustment bolt heads, adjust both bolts as
follows: (See Figure 33.)
1. Loosen jam nut 3 to 4 turns or as required.
2. Turn pivot bar adjustment bolt counterclockwise
until it hits against the front axle.
3. Tighten jam nut.
4. Repeat the above steps for the other pivot bar
adjustment bolt.
