Return-To-Neutral Adjustment

To determine if it is necessary to adjust the neutral return,

perform the following steps.

1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake and turn

off the engine.

2. Move the ground speed control levers into the operating

position, pull levers rearward and release.

3. Move the ground speed control levers out towards the

neutral position. If the levers do not align with the

notches in the neutral lock plate, it is necessary to

adjust the adjustment linkage rod (B, Figure 37).

Adjustment

1. Pull the ground speed control lever rearward and release

to check position. If the ground speed control lever

does not align itself with the notch in the neutral plate,

then move the set collar (A) forward or back on the

adjustment linkage rod (B) until the speed control lever

aligns with the notch. Retighten the set collar.

2. Make sure that the neutral return bushing (D) is seated

correctly in the spring stop plate (E).

3. Pull the ground speed control lever rearward and release

to check position again. Adjust as necessary to align

the ground speed control levers with the notches in the

neutral lock plate.

It is important to note that after every adjustment of the

neutral return rod, the lever must be pulled rearward and

released to properly check the neutral position.
