Checking and Adjusting the
Neutral Position
Service Interval: Every 100 hours
When performing routine maintenance and/or engine
diagnostics, the transaxle must be shifted into neutral

which controls the neutral in the transaxle. The following
steps should be taken to make sure that the neutral-shift lever
operates the transaxle neutral correctly:
1. Set the shift lever into the N
2. Ensure that the neutral bracket is in the N
position (level to the cable mounting bracket located
below the shift bracket) by turning the driven clutch
(Figure

Inspecting the Primary Drive
Clutch
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Clutch operation should be monitored daily for proper
shifting. If shifting is sticky or sluggish, or the clutch does not
return completely to neutral when idling, the clutch requires a
simple cleaning.
Note: Focus debris removal in and around moving parts.
1. Stop the engine, remove the key, and set the parking
brake.
2. Raise and latch the cargo box.
3. Remove dirt and mud buildup on the clutch with water
and dry the clutch immediately with compressed air to
remove excess water and debris.
Note: Remaining debris may be removed using a
fast-drying contact cleaner.
