How to Calibrate the Steer
Sensors
If a steer sensor reaches the limit of travel before a
tire is adjusted parallel to the chassis, the steer
sensor must be calibrated. This procedure will
re-establish a center position on the steer sensor.
Note: Perform this procedure with the machine in
the stowed position.
Note: This procedure will require two people.
Note: Use the following chart to identify the
description of each LCD screen control button used
in this procedure.
Plus Minus
1 Start the engine from the platform controls.
2 Press down the foot switch.
3 Choose a steer mode based on the tire that
needs alignment.
Note: If a circle-end tire cannot be aligned, press
the square-end steer mode button. If a square-end
tire cannot be aligned, press the circle-end steer
mode button.
4 Loosen the steer sensor cover retaining
fasteners. Do not remove them.
5 Rotate the steer sensor cover either clockwise
or counterclockwise to bring the tire as close to
alignment as possible.
6 Turn off the engine.
