Adjusting the Shift Cables
Service Interval: After the first 10 hours
Every 200 hours
1. Move shift lever to the Neutral position.
2. Remove the clevis pins securing the shift cables to
the transaxle shift arms (Figure 47).

2. Shift arm (2nd—3rd)
3. Loosen the clevis jam nuts and adjust each clevis
so cable free play is equal forward and backward
relative to the hole in the transaxle shift arm (with
the transaxle lever free play taken up in the same
direction).
4. Install the clevis pins and tighten the jam nuts when
finished.
Adjusting the High–Low Cable
Service Interval: Every 200 hours
1. Remove the clevis pin securing the High–Low cable
to the transaxle (Figure 47).
2. Loosen the clevis jam nut and adjust the clevis
so that the clevis hole aligns with the hole in the
transaxle bracket.
3. Install the clevis pin and tighten the jam nut when
finished.
Inspecting the Tires
Service Interval: Every 100 hours
Operating accidents, such as hitting curbs, can damage a
tire or rim and also disrupt wheel alignment, so inspect
tire condition after an accident.

Check the tire pressure frequently to ensure proper
inflation. If the tires are not inflated to the correct
pressure, the tires will wear pre maturely.
Figure 48 is an example of tire wear caused by under
inflation.

Figure 49 is an example of tire wear caused by over
inflation.

Checking the Front Wheel
Alignment
Service Interval: Every 400 hours/Yearly (whichever
comes first)
1. Make sure the tires are facing straight ahead.
2. Measure the center-to-center distance (at axle height)
at the front and rear of the steering tires (Figure 50).
The measurement must be within 0 ± 0.12 inch (0
± 3 mm) at the front of the tire then at the rear of
the tire. Rotate the tire 90 degrees and recheck the
measurement.
Important: Check the measurements at
consistent locations on the tire. The vehicle
should be on a flat surface with the tires facing
straight ahead.
