COVER REINSTALLATION WHEN PM PROCEDURE IS COMPLETE
1. When all necessary steps are complete and access to components beneath the covers is no longer
required, reinstall all previously removed covers in reverse order from which they were removed.
If the system is equipped with center pivot steering, use the following procedures for reinstallation of
the mainframe rear cover (and refer to the illustration below):
A. Position the rear cover so the upper steering shaft can fit into the compression coupler on the lower
steering shaft.
B. Position the rear wheels forward, then slide the upper shaft into the coupler to where there is a 1/4-
inch to 3/8-inch gap between the ends of the shafts.
CAUTION
: Be sure the wheels are positioned forward (straight) and the set screw heads face directly
front when inserted in the couplers before securing the couplers to the shafts. If not
installed in this front-aligned position, there is a chance the set screw heads could scrape
against the inside of the right front cover when turning the wheels to the right.
C. Align the steering handle with the rear wheels, then tighten (but do not Loctite) the two upper set
screws on the coupler and torque them to 48 in.-lbs. Or, if using a torque screwdriver, torque to 39
in.-lbs. max., then 1/8-inch more turn with an allen wrench.
D. Reinstall the mainframe rear cover, top front cover, left front cover, right front cover, and front leg
cover.
