Steering Cable
(Greensmaster 3050)
Steering cable tension should be adjusted whenever
play is felt in the steering wheel. A loose steering cable
will make it difficult to steer in a straight line. however,
over tightening cable will cause undue wear to pulleys
and cause cable to stretch and fail prematurely. When
properly tensioned, cable should deflect 1/2I at mid
span when 11 lbs. of force is applied.
1. Tension cable by securing cable end hex with an
open end wrench and turning the nut on the cable end
with another wrench.
2. If all threads on the cable end have been used, re-
place cables. If necessary, service the pulley and steer-
ing cable under the steering wheel by removing the
cover on the end of the steering column
