STEERING SYSTEM TENSION ADJUSTMENT
IMPORTANT: After this dual steering cable
attachment kit is installed, there must be proper
tension in forward mounted steering cable tor
this attachment kit to operate properly. Not
enough tension will cause slack (or play) in
steering system. Too much tension will cause
steering cables to bind. Perform the following
steps to adjust for correct tension.
Loosen adjustment nuts and pull steering cable
mounting tube (by hand) away from end of steering
cable (to remove slack in steering system). Tighten
adjustment nuts against mounting bracket and check
system for slack (play.) If steering system is too tight,
readjust tube toward end of steering cable or, if too
much slack (play) exists in system, readjust tube
away from end of steering cable. Tighten nuts
against mounting bracket and readjust, if necessary.
