FRICTION PACK ADJUSTMENT
The friction pack dampens or holds the operator
control lever in its desired position.
Adjustment for the amount of drag or holding
force can be made by turning the friction pack
nut in or out.
Adjustments should be made in no more than
1/4 turn increments.
Over-tightening will result in difficulty or inability
of the operator to move the control lever.
NOTE: The factory setting for the friction
pack is tightening of the friction pack
nut to 100 in-lbs (11 Nm) torque. The
friction pack nut is then backed off
per the vehicle manufacturer’s
specifications.
