Steering Link Rod Fasteners
IMPORTANT: The steering link rod that connects the steering
cable to the engine must be fastened using special washer head
bolt ("a" ‑ Part Number 10‑856680) and self‑locking nylon insert
locknuts ("b" & "e" ‑ Part Number 11‑826709113). These
locknuts must never be replaced with common nuts (non‑locking)
as they will work loose and vibrate off, freeing the link rod to
disengage.
