Controls System Maintenance; Adjusting The Control Handle Neutral Position - Toro 74266 Operator's Manual

Tensioning the Alternator Belt
1. Place a handle between the alternator and cylinder
block.
2. Adjust the alternator to the outside until there is 1/4 to
11/32 inch (7 to 9 mm) deflection in the belt between
the engine and the alternator pulleys with 22.1 lbs of
force (10 kgf) (Figure 72).
3. Tighten the alternator bolts.
4. Check the deflection in the belt again and adjust the
belt if needed.
5. If the deflection is correct, tighten the bottom and
upper bolt (Figure 72).

Adjusting the Control Handle
Neutral Position
If motion control levers do not align, or move easily into the
console notch, adjustment is required. Adjust each lever,
spring and rod separately.
Note: Motion control levers must be installed correctly.
See Installing the Motion Control Levers in the set up
instructions.
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control levers to
the neutral locked position and set the parking brake.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving
parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
3. Unlatch the seat and tilt the seat forward.
4. Begin with either the left or right motion control lever.
5. Move the lever to the neutral position but not locked
(Figure 73).
6. Pull the lever back until the clevis pin (on arm below
pivot shaft) contacts the end of the slot (just beginning
to put pressure on the spring) (Figure 73).
7. Check where the control lever is relative to notch in
console (Figure 73). It should be centered allowing
lever to pivot outward to the neutral lock position.

8. If adjustment is needed, loosen the nut and jam nut
against the yoke (Figure 74).
9. Apply slight rearward pressure on the motion control
lever, turn the head of the adjustment bolt in the
appropriate direction until the control lever is centered
in the neutral lock position (Figure 74).
