Common Adjustments and Repairs
Steering Band Adjustments
Tighten adjusting nuts until steering bands affect the rolling resistance of the vehicle. Loosen adjusting nuts one full turn, or until bands no longer affect the rolling resistance of the vehicle. To check this adjustment, drive the vehicle in second gear at 2 or 3 miles per hour, shift to neutral and let the vehicle coast to a stop. By doing this several times with loose and tight adjustments, it will be easier to determine when steering bands are dragging.
Caution: Do not operate the vehicle with excessive steering band drag. This will induce heavy wear on the brake lining and may cause differential overheating. Do not exceed a torque value of 30 ft lbs on the steering band adjustment nut. Excessive torque will damage the steering linkage.
Bleeding Steering System
Remove the master cylinder cap and fill the cylinder with type SAE 70 RI heavy-duty brake fluid. Replace cap to avoid contamination or loss of fluid during bleeding operation. Open bleeder valves on slave cylinders by turning valves 1/4 to 1/2 turn counter clockwise (to the left). Slowly pull back steering levers, one at a time, to force fluid from the bleeder valves. While the levers are all the way back (in the position use to stop the vehicle), retighten bleeder valves. Repeat this operation until all air is removed from the system and the steering levers no longer feel "spongy".
Caution: Do not use fluids in this system, which do not conform to SAE 70 RI specifications. They will damage the seals and lock up the steering controls.
