5.3.3 Adjusting the steering stroke ends

This adjustment limits the steering angle, avoiding interference with other parts of the machine
when at maximum steering angle, and is performed in two steps.
a) Preliminary adjustment
This adjustment avoids interference between the steering components and other mechanical or-
gans, when the steering wheel is turned to the maximum angle right or left.
IMPORTANT The adjustment must be the same
on both sides.
1. Turn the nuts (1) until the screw (2) thread pro-
trudes from the plate (3) by 20 mm.
2. When finished, fully tighten the two nuts (1).
b) Final adjustment
This setting determines the two steering stroke ends.
3. Loosen the two screws (4) and (6) and the relative lock nuts (5) and (7).
4. Turn the steering wheel to the right up to the
limit determined by the screw (2).
5 Tighten or loosen the corresponding screw (4)
until leave 1 mm of light between the screw
head and relative block point (8), then tighten
the lock nut (5).
6. Turn the steering wheel fully to the left and re-
peat the previous step. Tighten or loosen the
corresponding screw (6) until leave 1 mm of
light between the screw head and relative
block point (9), then tighten the lock nut (7).
7. Tighten the lock nuts (5) e (7) again after completing the procedure.
