ASSEMBLY
Installing the Steering Wheel (If necessary)
The hardware for attaching the steering wheel has been packed within the steering
wheel, beneath the steering wheel cap. Carefully pry off the steering wheel cap and
remove the hardware.
IMPORTANT!
Do not use impact tools
to install or remove the steering
wheel. Doing so can overtorque and
damage the fastener.
1.
With the wheels of the tractor
pointing straight forward,
align the steering wheel (a)
by using the center-line (b)
on the front of the steering
wheel (a) pointing straight
ahead and the flat section
(c) of the steering wheel (a)
facing toward the seat, place
the steering wheel (a) over the
steering shaft (d). See Figure 14.
2.
Secure the steering wheel (a) with the hex bolt (e) from under the steering
wheel cap (f) and torque to 18-22 ft.-lbs (24.4-29-8 N-m).
3.
Place the steering wheel cap (f) over the center of the steering wheel (a) and
push downward until it “clicks” into place.
NOTE:
The hex bolt (e) securing the steering wheel (a) has thread locker
applied to it, so if it is removed, it is recommended that the hex bolt (a) be
replaced or thread lock re-applied.
