SECTION 3 SELF-PROPEL SYSTEM
GEAR SELECTION CONTROL
Gear Selection Control Operation
The TORO Vacu-Power mower
is equipped with a
3-speed transmission. The gear
selection control
allows the operator to select one of the three speeds
or neutral by moving a lever
on the control panel. The
gear selection control is made up of 3 components:
the controlling cable, the cable clamp, and the input
lever on top of the transmission. The transmission uses
a sliding key arrangement
for
gear selection.
On
'88
and
'89
Vacu-Power mowers there is
no
detent
inside the gear box. Rather, the detent is in the gear
selection control in the control panel.
If alignment
between detents on the control panel and the gears
inside the transmission is a problem, make sure that
the cable is adjusted properly. If a problem still exists,
consult Service Bulletin
43
for further information.
