Installation - Wheel Angle Sensor
Switch off the machine’s engine while installing or adjusting the WAS. Keep others away and stay clear of mechanical steering
linkages to prevent serious injury or death from pinch point hazards while manually operating the hydraulic steering circuit.
1.
Prepare the wheel angle sensor.
a.
Using the provided hardware
WE
(nuts) and
WD
(bolts), attach the WAS wire connector
WB
to the
WAS housing
WA
. Install the bolts up through the
bottom of the housing. Mount
WB
with its right
edge in line with the right front corner of
WA
(Figure 1a).
b.
Cut four holes off WAS arm
WC
at the opposite
end from the WAS shaft mounting hole (Figure 1b).
c.
Using hardware
WF
(screw) and
WE
(nut), attach
the WAS arm
WC
to the WAS assembly. Mount the
arm in the same direction as the WAS wire connec-
tor
WB
(Figure 1c with inset).
Before you cut the rod at step d, screw the provided
nuts WH onto the threaded rod WG so that they
are inside the cut you will make. After you have cut
the rod, the nuts can help clean the threads.
d.
Cut threaded rod
WG
to 6½
”
long (Figure 1d-i)
then screw swivel rod ends
WI
onto the cut rod to
achieve a center-to-center stud measurement of
7¾
”
(Figure 1d-ii). Leave
WH
loose until you
complete linkage adjustment at step 2f.
