3.16 Steering Control Arms
Check that both steering control arms are properly
linked, free of debris, and operating freely. Swing the
arms toward the operator seat, removing them from the
neutral lock position. Slowly push both arms all the way
forward, then all the way back. They should both move
smoothly and easily, with no sticking, obstruction, or
uneven tension. They should also “snap” back to neu-
tral position, which is straight up and down and cen-
tered with the neutral position lock (notch in the frame).
Be sure to return and lock both control arms into neutral
position.
The control arms can be adjusted for operator comfort
by repositioning the control arms on the control assem-
bly.
On those units so equipped, unit control may also be
accomplished with foot pedals that are interconnected
with the control arm.
