1. 
   CQ291416-UN-13DEC11

   Raise and prop-up front end of tractor so that MFWD axle can move freely until its steering stops.

2. Slowly turn steering wheel to the left until you reach end of steering cylinder travel, steering stops and tires are at 25 mm (1 in.) of lateral bars or panels.

3. Raise the left-hand side of axle against its stop and measure the free space between tire and nearest tractor component. Distance must be at least 25 mm (1 in).

4. Loosen locknut of steering stop (A) and adjust corresponding bolt (B) so that it touches steering stop (C). It may be necessary to shorten bolt (B) to reach maximum steering angle.

5. Tighten locknut (A) of steering stop bolt to 125 Nm (92 lb-ft).

6. Turn steering wheel completely to the left. Make steering stop (B) collide five times with linkage housing (C).

7. Tighten steering stop lock nuts to specification.

   Item	Measurement	Specification
   Steering Stop Bolt Locknut	Torque	125 Nm (92 lb-ft)

8. Repeat procedure described above for right-hand side.

NOTE: Larger treads and tires slightly increase turn radius.

IMPORTANT: Minimum dimension indicated by “X” between lower bolt head surface and housing is 15 mm; below this value there will be an interference between crosslink and housing, causing damage to both.
