2.Rotate shift rod (I, Figures 5-14 and 5-15) clockwise until it stops in the neu- tral (N) position (from forward gear positions).

3.Hold down Operator Presence Control (M, Figure 5-13) and push unit forward and backward. Unit should move freely. If not, continue with Step 4.

4.Remove cotter pin securing shift link (P, Figure 5-15) to shift rod (I).

5.Move shift arm (X) back and forth as necessary into each detent until trans- mission is in neutral. NOTE: Moving shift arm (X) clockwise all the way to the left, and then one notch back counter- clockwise, should put transmission into neutral. When transmission is in neutral, unit will move freely when pushed while holding the Operator Presence Control lever down. If transmission is NOT in neutral, there will be a slight drag on the wheels when pushing unit.

6.When shift arm (X) is in neutral posi- tion, rotate shift link (P) until hooked end fits back into hole in bottom end of shift rod (I). NOTE: Shift rod (I) must be held in the neutral position (see Figure 5-14) while shift link (P) is adjusted.

7.Secure shift link (P) into shift rod (I) with cotter pin removed earlier.

8.Re-check neutral by pushing unit back and forth and shifting lever (I) from reverse to neutral. A small fine-tune adjustment may be required.

3.Slowly adjust at nut (O), if necessary, until the distance between the back of brake arm (N) and bracket (P) is 3/8”- 5/16". Use small adjustments (1/4 turn maximum). NOTE: It may be necessary to relieve spring tension when decreas- ing distance. To do so, have an assis- tant engage the Operator Presence Control while you adjust the nut.

TRANSMISSION NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT

Follow this procedure to adjust neutral on the transmission.

1.Stop engine, wait for all parts to stop moving, and disconnect spark plug wire.
