How to Set Up the Directional
Valve Linkage
Note: Adjustment of the oscillate directional valve
linkage is only necessary when the linkage or
valve has been replaced.
Note: Perform this procedure with the machine on
a firm, level surface with the boom in the stowed
position.
1 Use a "bubble type" level to verify the working
surface is completely level.
Tip-over hazard. Failure to
perform this procedure on a
level floor could compromise the
stability of the machine resulting
in the machine tipping over.
2 Check the tire pressure in all four tires and
add air if needed to meet specification.
Note: The tires on some machines are foam-filled
and do not need air added to them.
3 Remove the non-steer end drive chassis
cover and axle covers.
4 Remove the ball joint retaining fastener from
the bracket.
5 To level the drive chassis, start the engine
and push up or pull down on the threaded rod
until the machine is completely level.
6 Verify that the ground and drive chassis are
completely level.
7 Adjust the ball joint until the hole lines up with
the retaining fastener hole in the bracket.
8 Install the ball joint to the axle and tighten the
jam nut.
9 Check to be sure the drive chassis is
completely level.
10 Measure the distance between the drive
chassis and the non-steer axle on both sides
(from the inside of the drive chassis).
Note: If the distance is not equal and the
adjustment to the linkage was completed with the
ground and drive chassis level, repeat steps
5 through 10 OR consult Genie Product Support.
