FOOT PEDALS 4.2 Angle Adjustment 137/153 Maintain 3/8” (6mm) thread contact After changing the control cable the foot pedal angle will need to be verified and / or adjusted to provide operator comfort and proper pedal travel clearance. Note: If the operator feels discomfort due to current pedal angles, they may be adjusted to their preference. Be sure to check for pedal travel clearance afterward. Always maintain a minimum of 3/8’’ (6mm) of thread into the eyelet ends. (fig. C4291) 1 Make sure the eyelet ends are screwed into the front control rod threads a minimum of 3/8’’ (6mm). (fig. C617) 2 Place an angle finder on the inner fender of the loader to find the base measurement.
Note the reading. (fig. C4282) C4291 Checking the base angle 4 C4282 3 Place the angle finder on the heel of the pedal to be checked or adjusted. (fig. C4292) Note the reading. Checking the pedal angle C4292 4 Adjust the pedal angles by turning the rod ends on either side of the front control rod (fig. C4293). Adjust the lift and tilt pedal angle to 15є. Be sure to allow for the base angle measurement taken previously. Example: If the base angle measured 3є, add or subtract that angle from the angle measured on the pedal. 5 Check the operation by cycling the pedals. Operation should be smooth and the pedal should have unrestricted travel when heeled and toed.
If binding is occurring the control valve spools or electric lock system may need ser- vicing. Adjust rod ends C4293 4-14
