ASSEMBLY
2.
Remove the socket head screw and lock nut from the steering
shaft on the tractor and retain for later steps.
3.
With the steering wheel assembly upright and positioned over the
lower steering shaft on the tractor, align the steering wheel so that
with the tractor wheels straight, the large opening on the steering
wheel is facing forward.
4.
Lower the steering wheel assembly onto the lower steering shaft
and secure with the socket head screw and lock nut previously
removed. See Figure 2.
NOTE: Be sure to align the socket head screw so that the head
of the screw fits into the larger hole provided on the upper steer-
ing shaft once tightened. Once socket head screw is in place, feel
free to turn the steering shaft for easier access to the hardware.
5.
Tighten the socket head screw and lock nut using provided hex
key and a 7/16" wrench or ratchet.
