Steering Chain Tension
Note: If this procedure is being completed
because the steering chain was
disconnected or serviced, it is best
to conrm that the steering wheel is
oriented correctly before the chain is
tensioned.
− When the drive wheel is pointing
forward, one of the steering
wheel spokes should be pointing
downward.
− If necessary, skip the chain to
a different tooth on the steering
sprocket (H).
1. Loosen the inner adjustment nut (F2) from the
tension block’s threaded rod.
2. Loosen the clamping screw (G) that secures the
tension block (E) to the chain disk.
3. Tighten the outer adjustment nut (F1)
against the tension block to increase the
chain tension, until there is about 1/4 inch
(6 mm) deection in the chain at the
midpoint between the chain disk and the
steering column sprocket.
4. Tighten the inner adjustment nut (F2)
against the tension block by turning it
counterclockwise.
