FSC Neutral Switch Adjustment
(Side View Through Chassis)
Before testing the FSC Neutral Switch, dis-
engage spark plug wires from the engine
and engage the parking brake to prevent
accidental starting and inadvertent ma-
chine movement.
2.
Check operation of the FSC Neutral Switch by
placing the FSC lever in the full FORWARD
position. While holding the ignition switch in the
START position, slowly move the FSC lever
back towards the NEUTRAL-PARK position
until the starter motor engages. Stop moving
the lever and note the position of the FSC lever
where it passes through the slot in the body.
The FSC lever should be within 1/8 in. (3 mm)
of the NEUTRAL-PARK position. If this dis
tance is greater than 1/8 in. (3 mm), the FSC
Neutral Switch needs to be adjusted downward
for quicker activation.

Step 7 - Forward Speed Control Friction Adjustment
FSC Friction Adjustment Test
1.
Place the FSC lever in the full FORWARD
position, and pull both steering levers fully back;
the FSC lever should not move. If the FSC lever
moves back the friction needs to be increased.
2.
With the steering levers held back, move the
FSC lever back from the FORWARD position.
With a proper amount of friction adjusted, the
FSC le ver should move back with a slight
amount of re sistance (friction). If the FSC lever
movement is "stiff", the friction needs to be
decreased.
3.
The FSC friction is increased or decreased by
tightening or loosening the friction adjust-
ment nut. Loosen or tighten the nut and check
the control function until the conditions of both
steps 1 and 2 (above) are met.
