is in the neutral position, the spring leaf assembly must
be adjusted.

is off the floor. Place selector control in two wheel drive
position.
2. Start engine, move throttle to SLOW and check front

wheel is rotating forward, loosen capscrews and lightly
tap bottom of pump plate counterclockwise (as viewed
while facing pump plate). Lightly tap pump plate clock
wise if wheel is rotating backward. When wheel stops
rotating, tighten capscrews holding pump plate against
side of pump. Verify the adjustment with throttle in
SLOW and FAST position.

following:
A. Ball bearing is loose or worn out.
B. Plunger on interlock switch is sticking.
C. loose or missing fasteners.
