  • Page 34 When operating in extremely rough conditions it may be necessary to position the anti-scalp rollers one or two holes higher than described in "c" to prevent damage to the rollers and/or bolt failure. See Figure 8. NOTE: When anti-scalp rollers are placed in these positions, reduced deck flotation will result.
  • Page 35 FIGURE 10 HYDRO DRIVE LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT 4. Loosen the nut against the neutral control linkage yoke as shown in Figure 10. 5. Adjust the neutral control linkage until the respective drive wheel stops when the lever is pulled against the neutral spring (neutral position).
  • Page 36 After adjusting the left hydro control linkage, move the speed control lever to the mid-speed position and then back to the neutral position. Recheck the left drive wheel rotation to see if further adjustment is necessary - be sure the speed control lever is in the neutral position. If inconsistent neutral occurs, check to be sure both springs are properly tightened on the speed control lever under the console - especially the rear pivot spring.
