4.If adjustment is needed, loosen the lock nut directly below the yoke. Using a wrench, rotate the rod by turning the double nuts using the nuts below the yoke and the nut you just loosened, to obtain the 3/16" to 1/4" distance. Tighten nut against yoke and check other side for proper adjustment.

Motion Control Linkage Adjustment

This adjustment must be made with the rear wheels rotating. Raise the rear of the machine and block it up so the wheels are free to rotate.

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

Tilt seat forward and remove the seat rod so the seat may rotate forward onto the frame.

Place a 2x4 board between the foot plate and the center of the seat to engage the seat safety switch.

Loosen the nuts directly behind each ball joint on both rods that connect the pump arm to the motion control assemblies. FIG - 8

Start the engine. The park brake must be en- gaged 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 control linkage by rotating the double nuts in the proper direction until the wheel stops rotating.

FIG - 8 Move the motion control lever forward then into the neutral position and place it into the neutral slot. The wheel must be stopped com- pletely at this point. Now do the same in reverse and release the lever. The lever should return to neutral on its own. If not see reverse spring detent adjustment.
