STEERING ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove the ignition key from ignition switch.
2. Detach the bottom of the rubber boot cover on the drive handles.
3. Slide the boot cover all the way up (toward the drive handles) to access the drive handle bolts.
4. Remove both bolts securing the drive handles.
5. Remove the drive handles and the rubber boot.
6. Remove the four bolts securing the retaining plate to the Control Tower cover.
7. Pull up on the Control Tower cover and slide up and over the Control Tower.
8. Remove both safety switches from their respective holders by squeezing together on the retaining clips while
gently pushing upward until the switches clear the brackets.
9. Remove bolts (A) that secure linkage to upper control handles and lower control arms. The shock absorbers
should remain connected to linkage.
10. Insert quarter inch by seven inch pin or equivalent through the top and bottom alignment holes (B) of the
control arms to secure arms at positive neutral. (Remove floor for access to lower holes.)
11. With the shock absorber still bolted to linkage, loosen the jam nuts (C) at both ends of the linkage so the
alignaball adjustment can be made.
12. Adjust the alignaball (D) until retaining bolt slips through alignaball, and hole in arm, with little effort.
13. Re-install bolts, washers and nuts in all four ends of linkage. Tighten jam nuts against alignaball ends to
keep ends from turning.
14. Lift rear wheels off of ground using floor jack or other suitable lifting device.
Note: Whenever lifting any piece of equipment, using a floor jack or hoist, always secure in place by using
jackstands.
