Neutral Adjustment - Encore EDGE EE48FR691V32SS Operator's Manual

8. To verify that forward tracking of the
transmissions is straight at full speed, drive
the unit in a large open area free from close
obstacles. Since the adjustments made to
forward speed may have caused the neutral
setting to change be alert to possible
movement immediately upon starting the
mower for this test. If tracking adjustments
are needed lengthen the linkage rod on the
faster transmission using small adjustments
of about ¼ turn.
SETTING NEUTRAL
If, with the Single Stick control lever in the
DOWN ("Neutral") or start position and the
engine running the mower moves or travels, it is
necessary to adjust neutral. Raise the drive
wheels off the ground, secure the mower on
blocks or jack stands and proceed as follows:
1. Loosen the two nuts on the bottom of the
Single Stick neutral plate just enough so
that the plate can move freely.
2. Start the engine. With the Single Stick
control lever still in the down position move
the Single Stick handle until both wheels
stop rotating.
3. Tighten the two nuts on the bottom of the
Single Stick neutral plate, being careful not
to shift it out of position.
4. Recheck neutral before placing the mower
back on the ground. Then shut off the
engine and remove the mower from the
blocks.
SINGLE STICK CONTROL LEVER
SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT:
To change the sideways turning response,
adjust as follows:
1. Remove the right hand fender exposing the
Single Stick control lever assembly.
2. Remove the cross bolt, nut and spacers.
3. For quicker reacting steering, place the long
spacers toward the inside of the rod end ball
joints and the shorter spacers on the
outside of the ball joints. For slower
reacting steering, place the short spacers
on the inside and the longer spacers on the
outside. All 4 spacers must be used when
reassembling.
