1 Raise the boom arms, engage the boom support pins
and shut off the engine. Raise and block the loader
securely off the ground.
2 Remove the seat and hydrostatic shield. Note the
location of the steering control linkage. (fig. C3554)
3 Check the control rod end bushings for wear. If any
play is present between the bushings and the bolts replace
the rod ends.
4 Check the pintle lever for tightness on the swash
plate shaft. Tighten the clamping bolt or replace the pintle
lever if required. (fig. C3558)
5 If and when all rod bushings and pivot points have
been checked for wear or binding, proceed with the neu-
tral adjustment.
6 Loosen the jam nuts on the control rod linkage. (fig.
C3554) One end of the control rod is R.H. threads, the
opposite end has L.H. threads.
7 Start the engine and release the parking brake.
8 Turn the control rod linkage and visually watch the
wheels as they turn. Stop turning the control rod linkage
when the wheels are in neutral. Tighten the jam nuts
against the rod ends and recheck the neutral adjustment.
9 Very fine adjustment can be made at the hydro back
threaded rod. Adjustment here affects the control lever
angle. Only make minor adjustments using this
method.
10 Replace the seat and hydrostatic shield.
Neutral Adjustment
Before performing the neutral adjustment make sure
the hydro back is functioning and adjusted properly.
Refer to page 4-4.
