Adjusting the
Motion-Control Linkage
Located on either side of the machine, below the seat
are the pump control linkages. Rotating the end nut
with a 1/2 inch deep socket wrench allows fine tuning
adjustments so that the machine does not move in
neutral. Any adjustments should be made for neutral
positioning only.
WARNING
Engine must be running and drive wheels
must be turning so adjustments can be
performed. Contact with moving parts or hot
surfaces may cause personal injury.
Keep your fingers, hands, and clothing clear
of rotating components and hot surfaces.
1. Prior to starting the engine, push the deck lift
pedal and remove the height of cut pin. Lower
deck to the ground.
2. Raise the rear of machine up and support with
jack stands (or equivalent support) just high
enough to allow drive wheels to turn freely.
3. Remove the electrical connection from the seat
safety switch, located under the bottom cushion
of the seat.
