Suspension
19. Attach turn signal bracket (45) to signal housing with bolt (43) and lock washer (44) finger
tight. The bolt must enter the split in bearing spacer (12). Bolt (43) must be torqued to 6-10 ft-lb
(8.1–13.6 N-m) after steering wheel is installed and turn signal bowl is adjusted.
20. If removed, insert the one or two travel stop pins (20) in the lettered holes they were removed
from as noted at disassembly,
21. Attach stop cover (21) with two self-tapping screws (22) torqued to 40–60 in. lbs. (4.5–6.8 N-m).
22. Push telescoping jacket tube and wheel tube assembly all the way in and turn the 1/8 inch pipe
plug (14) into the universal joint slotted shaft, enough to retain the jacket tube and wheel tube
position when the telescoping lockpin (29) is disengaged. Then loosen the 1/8 inch pipe plug just
enough to allow jacket tube and wheel tube assembly (about 1/8 turn) to telescope freely under
spring tension. You will need a 3/16 inch Allen T-bar wrench of suitable diameter and length
[.375 inches (9.52 mm) diameter x 12 inches (304.8 mm) long] to reach the pipe plug down
through the wheel tube. When tilt and telescope lever (33) is held in the “up” position, the jacket
and wheel tube assembly must be able to t elescope to “full up” and “full down” position. When
tilt lever is held in the “down” position, the jacket and wheel tube assembly must be able to tilt
to the “full up” and “full down” position. When the tilt lever is released, the tilt lever must return
to the lock position and maintain the telescope and tilt position of the jacket and wheel tube at
which the lever was released.
The tilt/telescoping column assembly is now complete except for a wheel nut (49) to be assembled at in -
stallation. The assembly should sit for 24 hours at room temperature before being put into normal use to
allow the applied Loctite to set up. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s installation and alignment instruc-
tions.
Installation
1. Position the steering column in place in the dash area of the coach. Install the four bolts, wash-
ers, and nuts which attach the column to the mounting bracket under the dash. Tighten the nuts to
40–50 ft-lb (50–70 N-m) torque.
2. Install the lower column yoke on the input shaft of the miter box. Tighten the clamp bolt nut to
25–30 ft-lb (35–40 N-m) torque.
3. Attach the electrical wire for the horn to the free wire from the dash harness.
4. Install the steering wheel and horn control assembly as previously instructed in this manual.
