ADJUSTING
STEERING CABLES
(See Figure 23)
The steering cables
can be adjusted to
correct for wear and to
take “slack” out of the
steering wheel.
● Inspect the tie rods
and tie rod ends.
● Check
the front
wheel bearings and the
bearings where the front
spindles go through the
front axle beam.
● Check
that cables are
on steering cable pulleys
at rear of machine
● Locate adjusters on
cable ends near front axle. Loosen locking nuts on both cables. Adjust each side equally to keep the alignment
equal and to avoid changing the steering wheel steering position. Do not over tighten cables. Retighten lock nuts
after adjusting.
● Check
the alignment of the front tires, they should have a “Tow Out” of 1/4” to 1/2”. Take a measurement across
the front tires, measuring from the center of the tires. Measure both the front and the rear. The front measurement
should be 1/4” to 1/2” more than the rear measurement. Correct if needed by adjusting the tie rods.
