Adjusting the hydrostatic transmission cable
The hydrostatic transmission cable (on the left side) is adjusted in the following manner:
1.Remove the transmission cover. Loosen both screws (one on each side) and lift off the transmission cover.
2.Take apart the lower ball joint, which is locked with a locking spring.
3.Ensure that the forward drive pedal is pressed down completely.
4.Switch the vertical arm to the maximum position and check that the ball and socket in the lower ball joint are aligned.
5.Adjust the socket on the cable if needed.
6.Assemble the lower ball joint.
7.Put the ball joint’s locking spring in place.
Cable holder
The cable seat in the middle protects the cables and the hydraulic tubes so that they do not get pinched during turns. It is situated close to the ground and can be damaged by objects or careless driving, especially when reversing.
Check to ensure that it is undamaged and that the belt guide is properly centred on the rear side of the pulley.
