STEERING LINK ROD FASTENERS
IMPORTANT: The steering link rod that connects the steering cable to the
engine must be fastened using special washer head bolt ("a" ‑ Part Number
10‑856680) and self‑locking nylon insert locknuts ("b" & "e" ‑ Part Number
11‑826709113). These locknuts must never be replaced with common nuts
(nonlocking) as they will work loose and vibrate off, freeing the link rod to
disengage.
