Adjust the steering chains if required as follows:
1 . Put the machine in the straight-ahead posi-
tion.
2 . Adjust the steering chains by means of the
two nuts, located under the central point
(17:A).
3 . Adjust both nuts by the same amount until
there is no play.
4 . Test drive the machine, moving it forward in
a straight line and checking that the steering
wheel is not off centre.

one nut and tighten the other.
Do not over tension the steering chains .
This would make the steering too stiff
and increase wear on the chains.
