Neutral Adjustment

Before making a neutral adjustment, the transaxle
must be warmed up, usually 5 to 10 minutes. Steps to
perform neutral adjustment:
1. Jack-up and support the right rear end of the
tractor, allowing enough clearance to remove the
right rear tire. Make sure the left tire stays on the
ground (Figure 141). (Optional: remove the
fender and seat assembly. If they are removed,
you will need to temporarily bypass the seat
switch.)
