Place 2x4’s on edge under the cutting deck from front to rear and lower the deck down onto 2x4’s.

Adjust the four lower chain bolts to the center slots on the deck. FIG - 4 NOTE: Make sure the lift blocks under the frame are tightly bolted to the frame.

Throttle Lever Tension

Stop engine and remove key.

Throttle lever tension may be adjusted by tighten- ing the pivot bolt. The pivot bolt secures the throttle arm to the mounting bracket which is mounted to the console. Access is gained by removing the console.

Motion Control Linkage Adjustment

This adjustment must be made with the rear wheels rotating. Raise the rear of the machine and block it up so the wheels are free to rotate.

CAUTION: Keep hands, feet and clothing away from rotating tires.

Place a 2x4 board between the foot plate and the center of the seat to engage the seat safety switch.

Loosen the nuts (A & B) directly behind each ball joint on both rods (C) that connect the pump arm to the motion control assemblies. FIG - 5

Start the engine. The park brake must be engaged and the motion control levers in the neutral slots to start the engine. Run the engine approximately half throttle

Release park brake to allow the wheels to rotate.

Begin with either side and put the motion control lever into the neutral position. Adjust the motion con- trol linkage by rotating the double nuts(D) in the proper direction until the wheel stops rotating. FIG - 5 Move the motion control lever forward then into the neutral position and place it into the neutral slot. The wheel must be stopped completely at this point. Now do the same in reverse and release the lever. The lever should return to neutral on its own.
