How to Set Up the Directional
Valve Linkage
Adjustment of the directional valve
linkage is only necessary when
the linkage or valve has been
replaced.
1 Lower the boom to the stowed position.
2 Use a "bubble type" level to be sure the floor is
completely level.
Tip over hazard. Failure to perform
this procedure on a level floor will
compromise the stability of the
machine and could result in the
machine tipping over.
3 Check the tire pressure in all four tires and add
air if needed to meet specification.
4 Remove the drive chassis cover from the
non-steer end.
5 Disconnect the linkage clevis yoke from the
drive chassis (if not already disconnected).
6 Place a "bubble type" level across the drive
chassis side plates at the non-steer end. Check
to be sure the drive chassis is completely level.
7 To level the drive chassis, start the engine and
push up or pull down on the linkage adjustment
rod until the machine is completely level.
8 Verify that the ground and drive chassis are
completely level.
9 Adjust the length of the rod by turning the clevis
yoke until the clevis yoke can be pinned to the
drive chassis.
10 Install the clevis yoke pin and the cotter pin. Be
sure to bend the cotter pin.
7 - 54
11 Measure the distance between the drive
chassis and the non-steer axle on both sides
(from the inside of the drive chassis).
