-note-

Before proceeding with this adjustment, be sure that the caster wheels turn freely and that the tire pressure in the drive wheels is correct. If the tire pressure is not correct, the machine will pull to the side with the lower pressure.

1.If at full speed the mower pulls right, it is an indication that the left wheel is turning faster than the right wheel. To adjust this condition, proceed as follows:

6.3Throttle Control and Choke Adjustments

These adjustments must be performed by your Scag dealer to ensure proper and efficient running of the engine. Should either need adjustment, contact your authorized Scag service center.

6.4 BELT ADJUSTMENTS

A.Stop the machine and place the steering control levers in the neutral position. Loosen the lock nuts securing the ball joints at each end of the LH steering control rod. Rotate the control rod to lengthen the rod and tighten the lock nuts. This will cause the control rod to stroke the LH pump less, slowing down the LH wheel. See Figure 6-3.

WARNING

Before removing any guards, shut the engine off and remove the ignition key. Wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop before beginning work.

- NOTE -

If after making the adjustment as outlined in step 1A, the machine creeps forward or backward, the neutral adjustment must be made as described on page 20.

2.If at full speed the mower pulls left, it is an indication that the right wheel is turning faster than the left wheel. To adjust this condition, proceed as follows:

A. Stop the machine and place the steering control levers in the neutral position. Loosen the lock nuts securing the ball joints at each end of the RH steering control rod. Rotate the control rod to lengthen the rod and tighten the lock nuts. This will cause the control rod to stroke the RH pump less, slowing down the RH wheel. See Figure 6-2.

- NOTE -

If after making the adjustment as outlined in step 2A, the machine creeps forward or backward, the neutral adjustment must be made as described on page 20.

All drive belts and cutter deck belts are spring loaded and self-tensioning. The belts should be checked periodically for proper alignment and wear.

6.5 BELT ALIGNMENT

Belt alignment is important for proper performance of your Scag mower. If you experience frequent belt wear or breakage, see your authorized Scag service center for belt adjustment.

6.6 Cutter deck adjustments

Cutter deck level, pitch and height are set at the factory. However, if these adjustments should ever need to be made, the following procedures will aid in obtaining the proper cutter deck adjustment.

- NOTE -

Before proceeding with the cutter deck adjustments, be sure all tires are properly inflated.
