the engine until the carburettor is dry.

Mounting
1. Fit the steering column bearings (if relevant). Do not
tighten the screws until the steering column is fitted
and adjusted.
2. Set the front wheels so that they are directed straight
ahead.
3. Insert the steering column underneath the tractor
and up through the bearing of the steering column.
4. Fit the steering wheel by aligning the cotter hole of
the steering wheel and column, and knock in the
cotter (27).
5. Set the steering wheel so that it is directed straight
ahead, and move the steering column upwards so
that the steering pinion (10) and the steering gear
sector (9) mesh properly.
6. Ensure that the axis of the steering gear sector is
aligned with that of the steering pinion.
7. Fit the retainer ring (26) on the steering column.
