SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

TRANSAXLE GEAR SHIFT LEVER NEUTRAL- ADJUSTMENT (See Fig. 23)

The transaxle should be in neutral when the gear shift lever is in neutral (N) (lock gate) position. The adjustment is preset at the factory; however, if adjustment is needed, proceed as follows:

Make sure transaxle is in neutral (N).

NOTE: When the tractor rear wheels move freely, the transaxle is in neutral.

Loosen adjustment bolt in front of the right rear wheel.

Position the gear shift lever in the neutral (N) posi- tion.

Tighten adjustment bolt securely.

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

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.
