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 10-849838) and self-locking nylon insert locknuts ("c"
& "d" - Part Number 11-826709113). These locknuts must never be replaced with common nuts (non-
locking) as they will work loose and vibrate off freeing the link rod to disengage.
