Thread Locking Adhesives

Thread locking adhesives such as "Loctite 242"
or "Fel-Pro, Pro-Lock Nut Type" are used on the
following fasteners:
Engine mounting bolts.
All set screws.

Adjustments

Note: Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to
stop and remove spark plug wire before servicing,
cleaning, or making any adjustments to the unit.
CAUTION
Raising the unit for service or maintenance
relying solely on mechanical or hydraulic
jacks could be dangerous. The mechanical or
hydraulic jacks may not be enough support or
may malfunction allowing the unit to fall, which
could cause injury.
Do Not rely solely on mechanical or hydraulic
jacks for support. Use adequate jack stands or
equivalent support.
Adjusting the Self-Propel
Drive
1. Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop.
2. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug.
3. Raise the tines to the transport position.
4. Squeeze the self-propel bail to the handle until
the transmission is fully stroked.
If the bail contacts the handle, release the bail.
Loosen the top adjustment nut one turn and
tighten the bottom adjustment nut. Squeeze the
bail to the handle. Repeat this step until there
is a gap (up to 1/8 inch (3 mm)) between the
self–propel bail and the handle.
