SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

TRANSAXLE MOTION CONTROL LEVER NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT (See Fig. 28)

The motion control lever has been preset at the factory and adjustment should not be necessary.

•Loosen adjustment bolt in front of the right rear wheel, and lightly tighten.

•Start engine and move motion control lever until tractor does not move forward or backward.

•Hold motion control lever in that position and turn engine off.

•While holding motion control lever in place, loosen the adjustment bolt.

•Move motion control lever to the neutral (N) (lock gate) position.

•Tighten adjustment bolt securely.

NOTE: If additional clearance is needed to get to adjustment bolt, move mower deck height to the lowest osition.

TO REMOVE WHEEL FOR REPAIRS (See Fig. 29)

•Block up axle securely.

•Remove axle cover, retaining ring and washers to allow wheel removal (rear wheel contains a square key - Do not lose).

•Repair tire and reassemble.

•On rear wheels only: align grooves in rear wheel hub and axle. Insert square key.

•Replace washers and snap retaining ring securely in axle groove.

•Replace axle cover.

NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent flat tires due to slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local parts dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and corrosion.

• Loosen the adjustment bolt.

•

Move the motion control lever 1/4 to 1/2 inch in the

TO START ENGINE WITH A WEAK BATTERY(See Fig. 30)

WARNING: Lead-acid batteries gen- erate explosive gases. Keep sparks, flame and smoking materials away from batteries. Always wear eye protection when around batteries.

If your battery is too weak to start the engine, it should be recharged. (See "BATTERY" in the MAINTENANCE sec- tion of this manual).

If “jumper cables” are used for emergency starting, follow this procedure:

IMPORTANT: YOUR TRACTOR IS EQUIPPED WITH A 12 VOLT SYSTEM. THE OTHER VEHICLE MUST ALSO BE A 12 VOLT SYSTEM. DO NOT USE YOUR TRACTOR BATTERY TO START OTHER VEHICLES.

TO ATTACH JUMPER CABLES -

•Connect one end of the RED cable to the POSITIVE

(+)terminal of each battery(A-B), taking care not to short against tractor chassis.

•Connect one end of the BLACK cable to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal (C) of fully charged battery.

•Connect the other end of the BLACK cable (D) to good chassis ground, away from fuel tank and battery.

TO REMOVE CABLES, REVERSE ORDER -

•BLACK cable first from chassis and then from the fully charged battery.

•RED cable last from both batteries.
