15 STEERING SYSTEM
15.1 GENERAL POINTS
- The steering operates by steering cables.
- Regularly check the tension of the steering cables and the tightness of the steering
components. If need be, adjust the tension of the steering cables. Don't tighten the steering
cables excessively. When properly adjusted the steering should work smoothly, with no play at
all and no stiffness in the tiller or wheel (consult your dealer).
- Regularly grease the chains and pinions.
- Do not grease the steering cables or the pulleys.
- Maintain the nylon, ertalon or teflon bushes with only a suitable lubricant.
- The steering system is an important safety feature. For this reason, the annual inspection of
the whole system must be carried out by a professional engineer.
