1. Slowly move the steering control levers forward and
feel if there is some resistance on the pump control
lever before the steering handle stop contacts the
steering control lever stop screw.
2. Check one side at a time. If you sense that the pump
control lever is stopping the forward motion of the
steering control lever, then the steering control lever
stop screw needs adjusted.
3. Move the steering control lever forward until the pump
lever bottoms out.
4. Loosen the jam nut on the steering control lever stop
screw. Figure 4-6
5. Turn the steering control lever stop screw until it
makes contact with the steering handle stop. Then,
turn it an additional 1/4 turn. Tighten the jam nut.
