9 7 1 Checks
Gently turn the steering wheel back and forth.
There must be no mechanical play in the steering
chains.
9 7 2 Adjustment (17)
Adjust the steering chains if required as follows:
1 Put the machine in the straight-ahead posi-
tion.
2 Adjust the steering chains by means of the
two nuts, located under the central point
(17:A).
3 Adjust both nuts by the same amount until
there is no play.
4 Test drive the machine, moving it forward in
a straight line and checking that the steering
wheel is not off centre.
5 If the steering wheel is off centre, slacken
one nut and tighten the other.
Do not over tension the steering chains
This would make the steering too stiff
and increase wear on the chains.
