5.2.3PTO Safety Switch: Mounted to a tab on the inside left side of the fuel tank support.
a)Stop engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. Remove ignition key or spark plug wire(s).
b)With PTO disengaged and the bellcrank touching the rear of the slot in the engine deck, adjust the PTO safety switch (if needed) until the bellcrank arm is 5/16” from the switch body.
c)Be sure the bellcrank DOES NOT touch the switch body or damage to the switch could occur.
d)Retighten PTO switch mounting hardware.
5.2.4Engine to Mower Deck Belt: No adjustment necessary.
5.2.5Pump Drive Belt Tension Adjustment: No adjustment necessary.
5.2.6Hydro Drive Linkage Adjustment:
a)Adjust Speed Control Linkage and Neutral Safety Switch
1.Stop engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
2.Move the speed control lever (located on the console) to the full forward position and check the orientation of the tabs on the ends of the speed control crank (Figure 12). These tabs should be pointing straight down at the 6 o’clock position or slightly forward. Adjust the threaded yoke at the bottom of the speed control linkage (Figure 12) until the tabs are positioned correctly.
3.Pull the speed control lever back to neutral. Check that the neutral safety switch actuating tab has depressed the plunger of the switch so that there is about 5/16” (.79 cm) between the tab and the switch (See Figure 12). If necessary, move the switch fore and aft.
