Steering Dampener Adjustment
Refer to Figure 3-4:
The steering dampeners, located under the seat, are
incorporated into the unit to provide some resistance
when control levers are moved forward or rearward and
return levers to neutral when backing up.
Make sure steering dampeners are adjusted properly by
moving control levers to the reverse position and
releasing them. If control levers return to neutral position,
they are working correctly. Adjust control levers if they do
not return to neutral. Adjusted as follows:
1. Place control levers in neutral position.
2. Adjust left dampener rod:
a. Loosen nut on the left front ball stud.
b. Pull dampener rod towards the front to engage
internal spring in the spring housing.
c. Release dampener rod and allow the internal
spring to bring the rod back to neutral position.
d. Retighten left front ball stud nut.
3. Repeat step 2 to adjust the right dampener rod.
4. Check steering dampeners:
a. Move the control levers to reverse position and
release. The control levers should return to neutral
position.
b. Repeat steps 1 through 4 if control levers do not
return to neutral position.
