Transmission shifter detent can be adjusted by adjusting the
setscrew on the backside of transmission located just behind
the neutral start switch. Turn setscrew in (clockwise) to
hold the transmission shifter more positively in each gear
and to increase the force on the lever required to shift
gears.
Turn setscrew out (counterclockwise) to decrease force on
lever required to shift gears. Factory setting is to turn
setscrew all the way in then back out 1-1/2 turns.
IMPORTANT: Screwing setscrew in too far will prevent the
transmission from shifting .
It may be necessary to increase wheel drive belt tension
under certain conditions such as, wet grass, hilly terrain,
or while pulling a sulky.
a) Stop engine and remove spark plug wire(s).
