Steering and Power Steering
STEERING STOP ADJUSTMENT
An initial stopscrew (3) adjustment is made on all steering axles to obtain maximum turning
angle (1). However, because a power steering unit has been added, the stop screw (3)
should be reexamined to assure that the adjustment is such that the power steering unit
will not override the axle stop.
To prevent overriding, adjust power steering systems and stopscrews so that the power is
cut-off ahead of the axle stop.
a. Adjust the axle steering stops (3) to contact when the maximum turning angle (1) of the
specific axle is reached, and lock with jam nut (2).
b. Adjust the power steering unit to stop approximately 1/16” to 1/8” before axle steering
stops (3) contact. (maximum turning angle 1).
The adjustment of both axle steering stops and power steering unit should be periodically
checked and corrected if necessary.

3. Stop Screw
POWER STEERING MAINTENANCE CHECK-(T300-1 ONLY)
On a SEMI-ANNUAL basis, remove the reservoir cover and filter element. Clean the inside
of the reservoir with a lint-free cloth. Install a new filter element, refill with oil and replace
the cover.
When filling, start the engine. With the engine running, turn the steering wheel from left to
right and continue filling until proper level is maintained. Refer to Section 4 for other
lubrication recommendations.
