5.3 Steering adjustment
5.3.1 Main steering wheel chain
adjustment
a. Stop engine, wait for all moving
parts to stop, and remove key.
b. Remove the side covers on the
control box.
c. Loosen the two nuts on either
side of the front chain pivot
bracket. Tighten the nut on the
backside until the chain can
move only a little back and
forth.
d. Re tighten the two adjustment
nuts and replace the covers.
5.3.2 Front wheel chain adjustment
a. Stop engine, wait for all moving
parts to stop, and remove key.
b. Tension adjustments – the
chain will have some slack in it.
This is normal. It should never
be adjusted to where it is taunt
between the sprockets. Adjust
the tension on the backside of
the chain first. Loosen the ½”
nut on the rear adjuster and
using a pair of vice grip pliers
position it to tension the chain
and re tighten. Check the
alignment of the chain to make
sure it is still running in a
straight line from the centre
steering input to the front wheels.
c. Next adjust the tension on the
front of the chain. There is an
adjustment shown below.
Follow the same tensioning
guidelines as above.
