Steering Adjustments

IMPORTANT: The front tires will have a "TOE-

IN" between 1/16" and 5/16" to allow the unit to

track properly.

1). Check the tire pressure in the front tires and

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

straight forward position.

14). Set the toe-in for the rim assemblies to the prop-

er measurements as described in steps 6, 7, and

8 above.

15). Thread the right hand ball joint onto the right

hand drag link until the mounting hole in the right

hand axle assembly lines up with the ball joint.

NOTE: Count the number of turns the ball joint

was rotated onto the drag link. This number

should be equal for the left side as well.
