two 1/4"-20 x 1/2" long screws
(O) and 1/4"-20 locknuts.
6. Slide grip (B, Figure 2-8) back
onto upper end of gear select
lever (I).
7. Rotate gear select lever (I,

from side to side as necessary into
each transmission gear detent until
transmission is in neutral.
NOTE: Moving shift arm (X) all

down. If transmission is NOT in
neutral, there will be a slight drag
on the wheels when pushing unit.

as necessary to fit into hole in bot-
tom of gear select lever (I).
