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

2. Shift arm (2nd to 3rd)
3. Loosen the clevis jam nuts and adjust each clevis, so
that the 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-to-Low
Cable
Service Interval: Every 200 hours
1. Remove the clevis pin securing the high-to-low cable
to the transaxle
(Figure
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.
Adjusting Differential-lock
Cable
Service Interval: Every 200 hours
1. Move the differential-lock lever to the Off position.
2. Loosen the jam nuts securing the differential-lock cable
to the bracket on the transaxle
(Figure
52).
3. Shift arm (High to low)

3. Adjust the jam nuts to obtain a 0.25 to 1.5 mm (0.01 to
0.06 inch) gap between the spring hook and the OD of
the hole in the transaxle lever.
4. Tighten the jam nuts 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 the 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 prematurely.
Figure 54
is an example of tire wear caused by under inflation.
