Adjusting the Motion Control
Linkage
The pump control linkages are located on either side of the
fuel tank, below the seat . Rotating the pump linkage with a
1/2 inch wrench allows fine tuning adjustments so that the
machine does not move in neutral. Any adjustments should
be made for neutral positioning only.
WARNING
Engine must be running and drive wheels must
be turning so motion control adjustment can be
performed. Contact with moving parts or hot
surfaces may cause personal injury.
Keep fingers, hands, and clothing clear of rotating
components and hot surfaces.
1. Prior to starting the engine, push the deck lift pedal
and remove the height of cut pin. Lower deck to the
ground.
2. Raise the rear of machine up and support with jack
stands (or equivalent support) just high enough to
allow drive wheels to turn freely.
3. Remove the electrical connection from the seat safety
switch, located under the bottom cushion of the seat.
The switch is a part of the seat assembly.
4. Temporarily install a jumper wire across the terminals
in the connector of the main wiring harness.
5. Start the engine. The brake must be engaged and
the motion control levers out to start the engine.
The operator does not have to be in the seat
because of the jumper wire being used. Run the
engine at full throttle and release the brake.

6. Run the unit at least 5 minutes with the drive levers at
full forward speed to bring hydraulic oil up to operating
temperature.
Note: The motion control lever needs to be in neutral
while making any necessary adjustments.
7. Bring the motion control levers into the neutral
position. Adjust pump control rod lengths by rotating
the double nuts on the rod in the appropriate direction
until the wheels slightly creep in reverse (Figure 81).
Move the motion control levers to the reverse position
and while applying slight pressure to the lever allow
the reverse indicator springs to bring the levers back
to neutral. The wheels must stop turning or slightly
creep in reverse.
