Control Lever Neutral Adjustment

Before considering any adjustment, check tire air pressure and make certain hydraulic oil is at operating temperature. Unequal tire pressure will cause mower to drift to one side. Refer to “Tire Inflation Chart” on page 22 and page 44.

Adjustments for neutral position is made to the pump linkage rods located between the control lever and pump arms. The pump linkage rods are properly adjusted when control levers are in neutral position and drive wheels are not turning.

Refer to Figure 3-2:

If the mower creeps in neutral position, adjust pump linkage rods, located under the seat, as follows:

1.Raise and block mower up to support drive wheels off the floor.

!WARNING

Make certain mower is secure when it is raised and placed on the jack stands. The jack stands should not allow the mower to move when the engine is running and the drive wheels are rotating. Use only certified jack stands.

2.Position control levers in neutral position and disengage blades.

3.Start engine and observe which way the wheels are rotating.

d.When both wheels remain in neutral, tighten jam nuts to lock pump linkage rod(s) in place.

5.If wheel is rotating in reverse:

a.Loosen jam nuts on pump linkage rod.

b.Rotate rod to shorten steering control linkage until the wheel comes to a stop.

c.Repeat for the opposite side if necessary.

d.When both wheels remain in neutral, tighten jam nuts to lock the pump linkage rod(s) in place.

6.Test again by moving control levers forward and backward before returning them to neutral position. The unit is ready for operation if the tires do not rotate with the control levers in neutral.

7.Turn ignition switch off, place control levers in park and set park lever to (ON). Remove support blocking and safely lower mower wheels to the floor.

Steering Dampener

Refer to Figure 3-3:

The steering dampeners, located under the seat, are incorporated into the unit to provide some resistance when control levers are moving forward or rearward.

Make sure steering dampeners are adjusted properly by moving control levers to the reverse position and releasing them. If control levers return to neutral position, they are working correctly. Adjust control levers if they do not return to neutral. Adjusted as follows:

1.Place control lever in neutral position.

2.Adjust left dampener rod:

a.Loosen nut on the left front ball stud.

b.Pull dampener spring housing, to the rear, past the point that the internal spring is engaged.

c.Release dampener spring housing and allow the internal spring to bring the housing back to neutral position.

d.Retighten left front ball stud nut.
