Shims (2) are available in two thicknesses.5J4776 Shims are 0.13 mm (.005 in.) thick.4J8224 Shims are 0.25 mm (.010 in.) thick. Two4J8224 Shims will change the steering time athigh idle by approximately .1 second.EXAMPLE: A check of the steering times showsthat the right turn time is .4 second more than the leftturn time. Shims (2) must be added to decrease thedifference between the times. The addition of four4J8224 Shims will decrease the right turn time byapproximately .2 second and increase the left turntime approximately .2 second. This will make theright and left turn times approximately the same.4. Replace the end cover on the control valve.thelets2.S T E E R I N G C O N T R O L V A L VE1. Control valve. 2.

Install the anti-pivot link so the machine cannot turn.A N T I - P I V O T L I N K I N S T A L L EDNOTE: If the anti-pivot link can not be installed, thepressure setting can be checked by an adjustment ofstriker (stud assembly) that is not correct. Thisthe front and rear frame stops come in contact.Remove plug (1) and install a 2P1314 Con-nector where plug (1) was removed.
