Steering
Stop
Adjustment:
The steering stops
"B"
are readily
seen and accessible
from
under the right hand side
of
the
chassis with
the
cutter deck
the
"LOW" position.
Adjustments
should
not
be
necessary unless the steering has
been damaged.
1. Remove the spark
plug lead to
prevent
accidental
starting.
2. Check
the front wheel
alignment
has 0-1.5mm toe
in.
Correct
if
necessary by resetting the adjustable tie rods.
Also check that the steering
wheel spokes
are
horizontal
when the front wheels are in the
straight-ahead
position.
Adjust the steering
link if necessary.
These adjustments must be completed
before
any
steering stop adjustments
are made.
3.
Loosen the nuts retaining
the two steering stops
on the chain
sprocket support.
(Refer
illustration J,
item B).
4. Tum the steering wheel full
lock to the
right till the
right
hand king
pin
is hard
against the fixed stop
'0A".
5. Slide the
right side stop on
the chain wheel support
until it hits
against the tie rod end
"C".
Retighten the locking
nut
o'8".
6.
Tum the steering wheel
full lock
to the left then repeat step 5 above.
7.
To check
your
adjustments
are correct,
turn the steering wheel to
either
lock, noting
stops
"A"
and
"B" make
contact at the same
moment. This will ensure
the smallest turnine
circle without unnecessary strain on
the
steering components.

Replace the spark
plug
