4.2 Adjusting Maximum Turn Angle
This section is used to check and adjust, if
necessary, the maximum turn angle of your
SL2065 suspension system in order to obtain
proper clearance.
To adjust the maximum Turn Angle:
1. Measure the current Turn Angle.
2. The maximum turn angle for SL2065 Series
model is normally set at the maximum 25º.
Some applications may require less turn
angle.
3. If the turn angle needs to be adjusted, adjust
the stop bolt until the correct angle is
obtained on both sides.
4. To obtain the maximum Turn Angle:
a. Loosen the stop bolt jam nut as seen in
Figure 8.
b. Adjust the turn angle by adjusting the
stop bolt in or out.
c. Tighten the jam nut to 50-75 lbs. /ft.
Do not turn the stop bolt so much that the bolt
end protrudes past the brake spider as this can
cause damage to other components
.
