Steering Adjustments
IMPORTANT: The front tires will have a "TOE-
IN" between 1/16" and 5/16" to allow the unit to
track properly.

make certain that they are at approximately 14
PSI.
2). Place the unit on level ground.
3). Place the steering wheel in the straight forward
position.
4). Lower the deck lift lever to the lowest position.
5). Line up the centering hole in the steering gear
with the centering hole in the support plate, and
insert a 1/4" Phillips screw driver up through
both. See figure 1.
6). In front of the axle, measure the distance hori-
zontally from the inside of the left rim to the
inside of the right rim. See figure 2.
FIGURE 1.
7). From behind the axle, measure the distance hori-
zontally from the inside of the left rim to the
inside of the right rim.
8). The measurement taken in front of the axle
should be between 1/16" and 5/16" less than the
measurement taken behind the axle. If not, per-
form the following steps:
9). Loosen the jam nut at the rear of the right ball
joint that secures the ball joint to the drag link
using a 1/2" wrench and an 11/16" wrench. See
figure 3.
FIGURE 2.
FIGURE 3.
10). Remove the hex nut and lock washer that
secures the right ball joint to the right axle
assembly using a 1/2" wrench and a 9/16
wrench.
11). Remove the right hand ball joint from the right
hand drag link.
12). Remove the left hand ball joint performing steps
9, 10, and 11 above.
13). Place the left and right tire assemblies in the

hand drag link until the mounting hole in the right
hand axle assembly lines up with the ball joint.
