Steering Lever End Play Adjustment - Step 2

1. Position the FSC lever to the most FORWARD po-
sition.
2. Loosen the adjustment nut on each steering lever
actuator until end play develops between the lever
actuator and the adjustment nut (sliding on trans-
mission control rod).
3. Hold the actuator back as shown (against the
spring pressure) and tighten the nut to the point
where the end play is removed and then tighten
two additional turns.
IMPORTANT: If the adjustment nut is too loose (end
play exists) excessive loads are placed on transmission
internal control stops. If the adjustment nut is too
tight (preferred condition), the maximum forward travel
speed is reduced.

Neutral Function Adjustment - Step 3

1. Move the FSC lever to the NEUTRAL-PARK posi-
tion (rear travel limit).
2. Start the engine (operate first at idle and then nor-
mal operating speeds) and check for movement
of the drive wheels.
NOTE: If the engine will not start, check and adjust
the neutral safety switch (see item 4).
CAUTION
NEVER attempt to disconnect any safety
devices or defeat the purpose of these
safety devices.

3. If drive wheels are moving, stop the engine and ad-
just the FSC neutral stop by adjusting the FSC
actuator clevis (see Neutral Function Adjust-
ment photo for clevis location). If the drive wheels
are moving backward, loosen jam nut and turn ad-
justing nut to move the clevis forward. If the drive
wheels are moving forward, adjust the clevis back-
ward. Restart the engine and check for wheel
movement (several "trial and error" adjustments
may be required). At this point it may not be pos-
sible to adjust both wheels stationary since the dif-
ferential adjustment has not been made. (This is
covered by the Straight Ground Travel Adjustment
- Step 4.) In this case, the neutral adjustment
should be made for one wheel stationary and the
other moving forward slightly.
