Step 13.
7. Slide steering arm weldments over motor castors, secure in place with 1/4” x
1” key. Tighten setscrews on each side.

arm weldments should point
at main auger. See Figure
3.54 for right side set-up, and
see Figure 3.55 for left side
set-up.
9. Place steering linkage on
holes nearest hopper on
steering arm weldments, see
Figure 3.54, or Figure 3.55.
Adjustment is built into
steering linkage to align tires
parallel to each other if
required. Secure with two

7/16” x 1-1/4” bolts and two

secure with 3/8” x 1-1/4” bolts
and 3/8” lockwasher (4 bolts

of stops so that wheels cannot be turned further and tighten set screws
(Figure 3.48 for right-side setup, and Figure 3.53 for left-side set-up).
Continue to turn handle to ensure full 90° range.
