4.Check where lever is relative to notch in neutral plate (should be centered allowing lever to pivot outward to the neutral lock position).

5.If adjustment is needed, loosen the nut against the yoke and while applying slight rearward pressure on the motion control lever, turn the head of the adjustment bolt in the appropriate direction until lever is centered (keeping rearward pressure on the lever will keep the pin at the end of the slot and allow the adjustment bolt to move the lever to the appropriate position). Tighten lock nut.

Weight Transfer Spring Adjustment

Weight transfer springs are assembled from the factory to apply the maximum amount of weight onto the drive wheels. This setting provides the greatest amount of traction. Some conditions may require the rear wheel lift to be reduced. This can be done by reducing the amount to weight transfer, which will increase the amount of weight on the front and rear casters.

1.Rotate the left motion control arm up and into the operation position.

2.Locate and loosen the knob under the rear of the left fender (see Figure 19).
