●

Turn the steering wheel full-right and full-
left. Make sure operation is smooth and
unrestricted throughout the whole range
with no binding or excessive free play.

●

Operate the throttle levers several times to
make sure there is no hesitation in their
travel. Operation should be smooth over
the complete range of motion, and each le-

sition.
