Adjustment
Move the tilt lever from the loose position to the lock position 3 to 5 times; then measure the tilt lever preload from the end of the tilt lever. (Scheme 1) If the measurement is out of specification, adjust the preload by loosening tilt lever, and set the steering column in the neutral position. Remove the 6 mm lock bolt, and remove the stop. (Scheme 1) Be careful not to loosen the tilt lever when installing the stop or tightening the 6 mm lock bolt. Adjust the preload by turning the tilt lock bolt left or right. Pull up the tilt lever to the uppermost position, and install the stop. Check the preload again. If the measurement is still out of specification, repeat above procedures to adjust.
