Neutral Adjustments

WARNING!

Neutral adjustments are made with the rear tires able to rotate. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry and keep hands and feet away from tires.

Neutral adjustments are made with the rear wheels off the ground and able to rotate, which is done with the engine running.

1.Using a jack stand, raise the rear of the mower up off the ground enough so the tires can rotate freely. Make sure the machine is securely supported.

2.Lift the seat and rotate fully forward until supported by the seat rod.

3.Unplug the safety switch and harness from the seat.

4.Using two 9/16" wrenches, loosen the jam nut next to the turnbuckle. (See illustration.)

5.Hold down the safety switch plunger and start the engine. Continue to hold the plunger down during the next two steps.

6.Keeping the drive levers in the neutral lock position, release the parking brake. The drive wheels should NOT rotate.

7.If the drive wheels rotate, turn the turnbuckle until the wheels stop. Release plunger to stop the engine.

8.Retighten the jam nut against the turnbuckle while holding the turnbuckle.

9.Duplicate procedure for the opposite wheel.

10.After adjustments are made, secure the safety switch and lower the seat.
