Installing pitman arm
1.
Fit a new dust seal on the sector shaft.
2.
Grease the surface of the dust seal that is
against the steering box using grease with a
melting point
>130_C.
The grease will protect the seals from dirt
and water.
3.
Install the pitman arm on the sector shaft so
that the marks on the pitman arm and the
sector shaft are aligned.
Note:
As the sector shaft nut normally has to be
locked in the same position, the sector shaft
nut can only be locked twice. After that, the
nut must be replaced. The nut must not be
locked in the same place again.
4.
Fit the nut on the sector shaft and tighten it
to the specified torque, see “Technical
data”.
