Steering Wheel Adjustment; Steering Gear Adjustment; Brake Adjustment - MASSEY FERGUSON Simplicity Lancer Series Operator's Manual

STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT

1. Use a suitable punch to remove the roll pin at the
base of the steering wheel (B, Figure 22).
2. Pull down on the rubber boot to expose the two holes
in the steering shaft (A).
3. Align the hole in the steering wheel with the appropri-
ate steering shaft hole and install the roll pin.
NOTE: Steering wheel is factory installed with the roll pin
in the top hole.

STEERING GEAR ADJUSTMENT

If there is excessive slack in the steering system, the
steering gear backlash can be adjusted. Please see
your authorized dealer for steering component service.

BRAKE ADJUSTMENT

1. Disengage the PTO, stop the engine, block the
wheels, engage the parking brake, and remove the
ignition key.
2. Locate the brake spring (A, Figure 23). With the
parking brake engaged, measure the compressed
spring length. The spring should be 2-7/16 (6,2 cm)
or 1-1/4" (3,2 cm) when compressed.
If necessary, use the adjustment nuts (C, Figure 23)
to lengthen or shorten the cable sheath to archive the
correct compressed spring length.
If this adjustment does not correct a braking problem,
see your dealer.
