7. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the
right to make the steering chain connections
easier to access.
Note: There are two options for
disconnecting the steering chain
from the chain disk. Method 1
is to remove the master link that
holds the chain to the tension
block, and Method 2 removes
the tension block from the chain
disk.
Method 1: Master Link
Unless the steering chain has been previously
removed, the master link retainer is likely on the
top side of the chain.
8. Slide the retainer (D3) off the master link, link (D1), and remove the plate (D2) and link (D1).
9. Free the steering chain from the steering column sprocket, and then temporarily tie the loose end of the
chain back to the tension adjuster to protect the chain for the remainder of the procedure.
Method 2: Tension Block
10. Remove the outer adjustment nut (F1) from
the tension block’s threaded rod.
11. Remove the clamping screw (G) that secures
the tension block to the chain disk.
12. Slide the tension block out far enough to
remove the chain from the steering column
sprocket and then temporarily replace the
tension block onto the chain disk to protect
the chain for the remainder of the procedure.
13. If the machine was previously raised, lower it
back to the ground at this time.
14. Carefully pry the spindle cover (H) out of the
oor of the solution tank in front of the steering
column. Take care to not break the retaining
tabs of the cover.
