Check gap between pawls (1) and top of
quadrants (2) while moving steering levers
(3) from front to back. Use 5/32, 3/16, and
7/32 inch (4, 5, and 6 mm) diameter drill
bit shanks to check gap. Clearance should
be between 5/32 (4 mm) and 7/32 (6 mm).
If 5/32 or 3/16 inch (4 and 5 mm) drills
will fit but 7/32 inch (6 mm) drill will not,
gap is right. If 7/32 inch (6 mm) drill will
fit, it must be snug in gap throughout lever
travel for gap to be right.
If gap is wrong, do steps 9 through 17
while referring to pawl adjustment chart. If
gap is correct, go to step 18.
Loosen front quadrant screw (4) and lock-
nut (5) that secure quadrants (2) to

two spring pins (9) from plunger rod (10),
remove from steering lever (3). Discard
spring pins.
Loosen pawl jamnuts (11) to adjust pawl
(1) to quadrant clearance.
Set clearance between 5/32 inch (4 mm)
and 7/32 inch (6 mm). Then tighten
jamnuts (11). One complete turn will move
