ADlUSTING STEERING LIMITS
Turning of the wheels is lim_ted by stop screws, at
the pitman arm for left_hand dr_ving and at fhe
reIay arm for right-hand driving, see fig. 6-11.
Checking is done as follows_.
1. Turn the Ieft wheel for a left_hand turn as far
as it goes. Check that the lock angle of the
wheels is 3P_4O'. If it i__ not, then adjust to
this value with the stop screw (Fig. ti11) at the
pitman arm.
2. Repeat this procedure with the r_ght wheel
,o, u and the stop screw on the relay arm.
