hours of operation and thereafter after 100 hours of
operation.
5.8.1 Checks
Briefly turn the steering wheel back and forth.
There must be no mechanical clearance in the

5. If the steering wheel is off centre, undo one nut
and tighten the other.
Do not over-tighten the steering chains. This will
cause the steering to become heavy and will in-
