Adjusting Control Rods
1. Adjust the rod length by releasing the drive lever and
removing clevis pin. Rotate the rod in the rod fitting
(Fig. 53).
2. Lengthen the rod if the tire is turning in reverse and
shorten the rod if the tire is turning forward.
3. Rotate the rod several turns if the tire is rotating fast.
Then, adjust the rod in 1/2 turn increments.
4. Release and engage neutral lock checking that the tire
does not rotate. Continue this process until the tire does
not rotate.

Adjusting Spring Anchor Links
For medium or heavy duty drive conditions, such as
operating with a sulky on steep slopes, a higher spring force
may be required on the hydro pump control arms to prevent
the drive system from stalling.
1. Disengage the PTO, turn the ignition key to off, and
remove the key.
2. Wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position and then chock or block tires.
3. For a heavier drive setting, relocate the spring anchor
links to either the medium or heavy duty positions
(Fig. 55). The spring anchor links are attached to the
upper rear corner of the hydro drive shields on the left
and right sides of the machine.
Note: In the medium or heavy duty positions, the drive
lever forces at the upper handle will also be increased
