4.Remove cotter pin securing shift link (P, Figure 5-15) to shift rod (I).

5. Move shift arm (X) back and forth as necessary into each de- tent until transmission is in neutral.

NOTE: Moving shift arm (X) clock- wise all the way to the left, and then one notch back counterclock-

Operator Presence Control lever down. If transmission is NOT in

neutral, there will be a slight drag on the wheels when pushing unit.

6. When shift arm (X) is in neutral

position, rotate shift link (P) until hooked end fits back into hole in

bottom end of shift rod (I).

NOTE: Shift rod (I) must be held

in the neutral position (see Figure 5-14) while shift link (P) is adjusted.

7.Secure shift link (P) into shift rod (I) with cotter pin removed earlier.
