WARNING
The following adjustments are made with
the engine running. Keep all body parts
and tools away from rotating and hot com-
ponents, and secure all loose clothing.
4. With the body lowered and the FSC in NEU-
TRAL-PARK, start the engine. With the engine
at normal operating speed, check for movement
of the drive wheels.
5. Lift the body to access the steering adjustment
components.
NOTE: It may be necessary to tighten the FSC
friction adjustment if the transmissions are
moved out of neutral when the body is raised.
Refer to Step 7 - Forward Speed Control Friction
Adjustment later in this section for location of the
FSC friction adjustment nut.
6. Using a wrench on one elastic stop nut, rotate
the control rod clockwise just until the wheel on
that side begins to move forward. Then,
counting the turns required, rotate the control
rod counterclockwise just until the wheel stops
and then begins to move in reverse. Rotate
the control rod back clockwise half the number
of turns required to make the wheel go from
moving forward to reverse. The transmission is
now centered in the neutral window. Tighten
the jam nut on the ball joint and repeat the same
procedure on the other transmission.
7. Turn off the engine, and then lower the drive
tires onto the ground.
