NOTE: There is one screw on each switch that is
accessible from outside the control console, and
one that cannot be reached without removing
the control console
NOTE: The switch being adjusted should be just
loose enough to allow the reverse switch bracket
to be moved with light pressure.
9.4. Turn the key switch to the "ON" position, but do
not start the engine.
9.5. Pull forward on the lap bar that operates the
reverse switch to be adjusted. Pull forward just
far enough to take-up any play in the linkage, so
that the control quadrant on the IHT is just at the
"forward" edge of the neutral range.
9.6. Pivot the reverse switch bracket back, until an
audible "click" is heard, as the PTO clutch disen-
gages.
9.7. Tighten the screws, and double-check the
adjustment. See Figure 9.8.

the lead that connects to the PTO clutch.
See Figure 9.9.
