Neutral Adjustment (con’t.)
6 Loosen the 2 jam nuts next to the main body. (fig.
C3555)
7 Turn the 2 nuts away from the main body of the
hydroback.
8 Cycle the control lever several times.
9 Push the control lever rearward until you feel resis-
tance. Stop.
10 Turn the 2 jam nuts back toward the main body of
the hydroback until the nut just touches the flat washer.
11 Cycle the control lever again checking for a neutral
position. If the lever returns to neutral, tighten the 2 jam
nuts together. If the hydroback still does not center, the
hydroback has internal damage or wear. Replace the
hydroback assembly with a new one.

Hydro Back Replacement
Replacing the hydro back changes the steering control
lever angle. To correctly set the angle after the hydro
back has been installed:
1 Replace the hydro back by removing the 2 bolts
located at either end of the hydro back assembly.
2 Install the hydro back in the reverse order. Check the
steering control rod ends and replace them now if they
are worn.
3 Use an angle finder to check the base measurement
angle the loader is sitting at. (fig. C3552) Note the angle
the loader is sitting at. This measurement will have to be
added or subtracted to the next measurement to give the
most accurate adjustment.
4 Attach an angle finder to the most vertical part of the
control lever. (fig. C3553)
5 Turn the hydro back threaded rod (fig. C3555) in or
out of the female rod end to move the control lever to a
reading of 0º. Be sure to allow for angle the loader is sit-
ting at. (Base angle) Jam the nut against the rod end
when completed.
Make sure there is a minimum of 3/8’’ (6mm) of thread
holding the female rod end to the threaded rod.
