SPEED CONTROL ADJUSTMENT

(See Figure 19)
NOTE:
When operating the unit initially or after
replacing the belts, there will be little difference
between the highest two speeds until after the belts
have gone through a break-in period and have
seated themselves into the pulleys.
If the full range of speeds cannot be obtained on your
unit, adjust the speed control as follows.
1. Adjust the speed control lever by pushing the
clutch-brake pedal forward until it hits the stop
on the running board. See Figure 19. Have
another person hold the pedal in this position as
you make the following adjustment. Place the
speed control lever in parking brake position.
Remove the hairpin clip and flat washer, and
adjust the ferrule on the rod so it is against the
back end of the slot. See Figure 19. Then
lengthen rod one more turn. Reassemble and
secure with the flat washer and hairpin clip.
2. Adjust the speed control link as follows to obtain
the correct neutral adjustment.
