INDEXING THE MOTOR

e. Remove the two screws that hold the Wrap Drum
Cover in place with a #1 Phillips Screwdriver.
Once removed, lift the Wrap Drum Cover away
from the Steering Module.
CAUTION
Be careful to not damage the Steering Motor Connection
Plug ends.

f. The Cable Tension Screw that holds tension on
the Steering Cables is located under the base of
the Toe End of the Foot Pedal. This screw can be
loosened just enough so that the Steering Cables
can be pinched together between the Cable Anchor
and Wrap Drum. Use a #3 Phillips screwdriver to
loosen this screw. Turning the screw approximately
8 turns counterclockwise should provide enough
slack in the cables to adjust. Keep track of the
number of turns the screw is unscrewed so it can
be re-tightened accordingly later.
CAUTION
Over loosening the Cable Tension Screw may cause the
cables to disengage from the Wrap Drum.
5
g. Once the Cable Tension Screw is loosened, prying
the Wrap Drum straight up off of the Cable Gear
using a heavy flat-blade screwdriver, until the
Wrap Drum is free of the Cable Gear.
CAUTION
Care must be taken so that the Steering Cables remain
on the Wrap Drum when it is disengaged from the Cable
Gear. It is important that the Steering Cables follow the
grooves on the Wrap Drum so that they do not become
intertwined or pop off. Be sure that the electric wire is
not damaged as the Wrap Drum is lifted.
