( Vvhirlvs jirtd rr~ilh power stcvri1r.q )
This operation is to be
carried out on a level
rmd, in the absence of any wind. The vehicle pulls ta the right :
- Slacken
both nuts ( l), rotate eccentric ( 2 )
towards the left.
- Tighten nuts ( 1). The vehicle pu’lls to the left :
- Slacken both nuts ( 1 ), rotate eccentric i 2) towards
the right.
- Tighten nuts ( 1)
NOTE In case the movement of eccentric ( 2 1
is not sufficient, see para 3. sub-para. B) of
chapter II.

The rack is connected to the hydraulic control unit ( operating cylinder )
Assume S as the piston in chamber 1, and S/ 2

The steering is balanced when forces F and Fl exerted on each face of the piston are equal

Movement of the rack ( therefore, power operation ) is ensured by a change in pressure inside chamber 1, such
