How many pieces of Type III Nylon secure the steering wheel on the M1301 ISV, and where are they attached?

• A. Three; one to dashboard pillar, two to frame below seat
• B. Two; one to dash, one to frame below seat
• C. Four; two to dashboard pillar, two to frame below seat
• D. One; to steering column only

Answer: (A)

Three pieces of Type III Nylon are used to secure the steering wheel, with one strap attached to the dashboard pillar and the other two attached to the frame below the seat. This setup provides solid, redundant anchoring points so the wheel can’t move or rotate relative to the steering column under load, vibration, or rough terrain. The dash pillar serves as a forward, rigid anchor, while the two straps on the frame below the seat distribute the load and resist forward movement, keeping the wheel firmly in place. Using three straps ensures sufficient security and load distribution; fewer would risk movement, and more isn’t necessary for this arrangement.
