Adjusting the Shift Cables
Service Interval: After the first 10 hours
Every 200 hours
1. Move the shift lever to the Neutral position.
2. Remove the clevis pins securing the shift cables to the
transaxle shift arms (Figure 44).

2. Shift arm (2nd—3rd)
3. Loosen the clevis jam nuts and adjust each clevis so
cable free play is equal forward and backward relative
to the hole in the transaxle shift arm (with the transaxle
lever free play taken up in the same direction).
4. Install the clevis pins and tighten the jam nuts when
finished.
Adjusting the High–Low Cable
Service Interval: Every 200 hours
1. Remove the clevis pin securing the high–low cable to
the transaxle (Figure 44).
2. Loosen the clevis jam nut and adjust the clevis so that
the clevis hole aligns with the hole in the transaxle
bracket.
3. Install the clevis pin and tighten the jam nut when
finished.
Inspecting the Tires
Service Interval: Every 100 hours
Operating accidents, such as hitting curbs, can damage a tire
or rim and also disrupt wheel alignment, so inspect the tire
condition after an accident.
Check the tire pressure frequently to ensure proper inflation.
If the tires are not inflated to the correct pressure, the tires
will wear pre maturely.

Checking the Front Wheel
Alignment
Service Interval: Every 400 hours/Yearly (whichever comes
first)
1. Make sure the tires are facing straight ahead.
2. Measure the center-to-center distance (at axle height) at
the front and rear of the steering tires (Figure 47). The
measurement must be within 0 ± 3 mm (0 ± 0.12 inch)
at the front of the tire then at the rear of the tire. Rotate
the tire 90 degrees and recheck the measurement.
Important: Check the measurements at consistent
locations on the tire. The vehicle should be on a
flat surface with the tires facing straight ahead.
