STEERING
CABLES
(See Figure 29)
The steering cables
can be adjusted to
correct for wear and
to take “slack” out of
the steering wheel.
● Inspect the tie rods
and tie rod ends.
● Check the front
wheel bearings and
the bearings where
the front spindles
go through the front
axle beam.
● Check that cables
are on steering
cable pulleys at rear
of machine
● Locate adjusters on cable ends near front axle. Loosen locking nuts on both cables. Adjust each side equally to
keep the alignment equal and to avoid changing the steering wheel steering position.
Do not over tighten cables.
Retighten lock nuts after adjusting.
● Check the alignment of the front tires, they should have a “Tow Out” of 1/4” to 1/2”. Take a measurement across
the front tires, measuring from the center of the tires. Measure both the front and the rear. The front measurement
should be 1/4” to 1/2” more than the rear measurement. Correct if needed by adjusting the tie rods.
