CAUTION: Keep hands, feet and clothing away from rotating tires.

Place a 2x4 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 both rods (C) that connect the pump arm to the motion control assemblies. FIG - 5

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.

Begin with either side and put the motion control lever into the neutral position.Adjust the motion con- trol linkage by rotating the double nuts(D) in the proper direction until the wheel stops rotating. FIG - 5 Move the motion control lever forward then into the neutral position and place it into the neutral slot. The wheel must be stopped completely at this point. Now do the same in reverse and release the lever. The lever should return to neutral on its own.
