Checking and Adjusting Motion Control Linkages

c

CAUTION: Avoid injury! Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide and can cause serious illness or death.

Move the machine to an outside area before running the engine.

Do not run an engine in an enclosed area without adequate ventilation.

Connect a pipe extension to the engine exhaust pipe to direct the exhaust fumes out of the area.

Allow fresh outside air into the work area to clear the exhaust fumes out.

NOTE: Check and adjust motion control linkages with the machine parked on a hard, level surface.

Checking Motion Control Linkages:

1. Park machine safely. (See Parking Safely in the SAFETY section.)

2.Rotate speed control bar (A) to full forward position.

3.With engine off, move motion control levers (B) until they contact the

speed control bar (A). A slight deflection should be seen in the linkage rod

(C).

NOTE: Check machine tracking after making adjustments.

Start the engine and run until it reaches normal operating temperature.

c

CAUTION: Avoid injury! Be aware of bystanders.

5.Stand on the operator’s platform and, with the park brake released, move the motion control levers (B).

6.Observe wheel movement as motion control levers are moved back and forth. Wheels should travel in the correct direction as the levers are moved.

7.Move motion control levers to neutral position. If rear wheels continue to rotate, a return to neutral (RTN) adjustment is required.

Adjusting Motion Control Return to Neutral (RTN) Linkages:

c

CAUTION: Avoid injury! Fingers or loose clothing can get caught in rotating parts. Stop engine and wait for all moving parts to stop before servicing.

1.Stop engine.

2.Lock park brake.

3.Lift machine with a safe lifting device centered under rear tire support frame.

4.Start the machine with motion control levers in neutral.

5.Stand on the operator’s platform and release park brake.

6.If rear wheels rotate when motion control levers are in neutral, a neutral adjustment is required.

7.Stop engine.

Picture Note: Side frame removed for picture clarity.

8.Slightly loosen cap screw (A) to allow rotation of neutral return plate.

If wheel is rotating forward, rotate neutral return plate counterclockwise until wheel rotation stops.

If wheel is rotating in reverse, rotate neutral return plate clockwise until wheel rotation stops.

9.Tighten cap screw (A).

10.Recheck neutral. If wheels continue to rotate, readjust.

11.With the engine running, operate the motion control levers to verify adjustment.

If engine will not crank over after adjustments are made, adjust the neutral switch.
