5- Steering axle :
Checking and adjusting the alignment
Immobilise the vehicle, the steering axle well inline, lock cylinders retracted, on a
level surface.
Measure the distance between the front wheels and the rear follower axle. The
same value should be found.
If this is not the case, unblock the 2 lock nuts of the coupling rod, and rotate it in
order to get the distance at the front to be identical to that at the back.
Tighten the lock nuts firmly.
Adjusting the locking cylinders
Periodically check the cap-nut and its lock-nut. After the alignment, proceed to
adjust the locking cylinders as follows
Unscrew the lock-nuts
Screw on the cap nuts.
Develop and maintain pressure in the cylinders.
Unscrew the cap nuts to have them pressing against the stops
Screw down the lock-nuts firmly in order to lock the setting.
