Dampener Mounting; Reverse Detent Adjustment; Motion Control Linkage Adjustment - Husqvarna 968999216 Operator's Manual

Dampener Mounting

Dampeners must be free to pivot.
Distance between nuts (5/32" minimum) must
be maintained so the dampener can pivot
freely, both ends. See illustration.

Reverse Detent Adjustment

Stop engine and remove key.
Pull the motion control lever back to the
reverse position and release the lever. When
the lever stops it should be in line with the
neutral slot, so you can move the lever into
neutral slot with out hitting the side of the
console frame.
If adjustment is required put the seat in the
rear most position on the slide, tilt the seat
forward, remove the seat rod from seat frame
and fold seat over forward onto the frame.
On the back of the console where the spring
is fastened, loosen the 3/8" nut and bolt
enough to allow the bolt to slide in the slot.
See illustration.
Motion Control Linkage
Adjustment
This adjustment must be made with the rear
wheels rotating. Raise the rear of the
machine and block it up so the wheels are
free to rotate.
CAUTION!
Keep hands, feet and clothing
away from rotating tires.
Tilt seat forward and remove the seat rod so
the seat may rotate forward onto the frame.
Place a 2 x 4 board between the foot plate
and the center of the seat to engage the seat
safety switch.
Loosen the nuts (A & B) directly behind each
ball joint on linkages (C). See illustration.
Start the engine. The park brake must be
engaged and the motion control levers in the
neutral slots to start the engine. Run the
engine approximately half throttle. Release
park brake to allow the wheels to rotate.
