SMART TURN™ STEERING (cont’d)
Inspection
The Smart Turn Steering system was set-up at
the factory and should not need any
adjustment. Adjustment must be verified if the
transaxle is removed and reinstalled.
Correct adjustment can be verified by checking
the position of the bushing (A) in the slot of the
brake pivot plate (B). The bushing should not
contact either side of the slot.
Correct adjustment can be verified by removing
the maintenance panel and visually checking
the position of bushing (A). It should be
centered in the slot in the brake pivot (B). The
bushing should not contact either side of the
slot when the brake is applied.
Adjustments
IMPORTANT: The adjustment procedure must
be performed in the sequence given.
If adjustment of the system is necessary:
1. Remove the rear fenders and tunnel from the
tractor as outlined on page 2-7.
NOTE: It is important that the toe-in is properly
adjusted before adjusting the Smart Turn
Steering linkage. Verify setting by following the
procedure starting on page 2-10.
