4.6 STEERING ALLOWANCE ADJUSTMENT
The steering allowance should never be excessive
if driving is not to be impaired.
Check that the movement is not caused by loose
linkage nuts and tighten all the nuts of the tie-rods and
ball joints.
If the movement is in the pinion to ring gear coupling,
the height of the ring gear will need to be ad ju sted by
insert ing spacers inside the hub.
Remove the front and rear protection cover
of the steer ing column [see 5.1].
Remove the footboard [see 5.2].
Unhook the spring (1) and lift the steering column (2)
far enough to be able to take out the pin (3) and the
pinion (4).
Undo the screw (5) and take out the ring gear (6).
Put one or two 11 x 17 x 0.5 mm spacers (7) (ac cor -
ding to requirements) inside the hub so that the ring
gear is raised higher than the pinion.
Line up the front wheels and refit the ring gear (6) with
the arrow pointing forwards, then fully tighten the
screw (5).
Turn the steering column so that the hole of the pin (3)
is at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the ma -
chine, and then fit the pinion (4) so that the pin is ful -
ly inserted in its seat.
Push the end of the steering column (2) right down in
the hole of the bush (8), check that the teeth of the
ring gear in the new position are correctly me shed
with those of the pinion and finally, refit the wa sher (9)
and the spring (1).
If the movement is still there after having removed all
the spacers, check it and if necessary, replace the ring
gear/pinion unit [see 6.3], or look for other possible
causes.
