STEERING LEVERS (Cont’d)
Adjusting The Steering Neutral Setting
Read this adjustment completely to become familiar with
the procedure before beginning the adjustment.
NOTE: The following adjustments (Steps a, b, c & d)
are not necessary if the thread engagement
in the ball joint is equal on both ends of the
cable (Item 1) [A] & [B].
a. Disconnect the cable ball joint from the steering
lever shaft (Item 2) [A].
b. Loosen the jam nut and turn the ball joint all the
way to the end of the threads (toward cable
housing).
c. At the pumps, loosen the jam nut and turn the
inner cable until the ball joint is all the way to the
end of the threads (toward the cable housing).
d. Connect the steering cable ball joint.
1. Start the engine. WHEN THE ENGINE IS
RUNNING, THE WHEELS WILL BE TURNING.
2. The steering cable ends have right and left hand
threads. By turning the inner cable, it will shorten or
lengthen the cable. Turn the inner cable until the
wheels stop turning [C].
NOTE: This procedure adjusts the creep (wheel
movement in neutral) and dead–band (lever
travel before wheels start to turn). Adjusting
steering cable length will match lever neutral
and pump neutral.
NOTE: Before measuring, move the steering lever a
small amount to be sure the cam is in the
detent pocket with no freeplay.
3. Use a straight edge for a measuring reference point
positioned against the pedal lock links (Item 1) [D].
Put a ruler between reference and steering lever to
measure lever travel from neutral until wheel starts
to travel forward. Then measure from neutral until
wheel starts to travel reverse [D].
4. Adjust cable length by turning the inner cable until
the two measurements are equal [C]. Tighten the
jam nut (both ends).
5. Repeat the procedure for the other side of the
loader.
Put jackstands under the front axles and rear
corners of the frame before running the engine
for service. Failure to use jackstands can allow
the machine to fall or move and cause injury or
death.
