Maintenance Instructions

REPLACING/REPAIRING/ ADJUSTMENTS

Reinstall the blades following procedure from Sharpen Mower Blades instructions. If blades are re- placed, always use Walker original equipment blades to ensure safety and optimum performance. The quality and performance of replacement blades offered by other manufacturers cannot be guar- anteed, they could be dangerous.

CAUTION

ALWAYS use genuine factory replacement parts. Substitute parts CAN result in product malfunction and possible injury to the operator.

ADJUSTMENTS

Transmission Control

IMPORTANT: The proper adjustment of the tran- saxle control stops is essential for efficient operation and life of the transaxle. These stops are properly adjusted at the factory and should only require readjustment if the transaxle or related control linkage is removed or changed.

NOTE: It would not be unusual for a new machine, after initial 5 or 10 hours of operation, to begin to not travel straight (this is due to the break-in of the tran- saxles).

Steering Lever Position Adjustment - Step 1

NOTE: For proper operation, the steering levers should be adjusted to sit evenly using the following procedure.

1.Examine the steering levers to make sure they are parallel front to back in relation to one an- other. If they are not equal, adjust accordingly. (The handles may or may not be even at this point.)

NOTE: The LH steering lever is non-adjustable. This procedure will require adjustment of the RH lever to make it even with the LH lever.

Levers should sit

parallel to each other

Lever Alignment

2.Adjust the position of the RH lever by turning the stop bolt in the Speed Control Actuator in or out. Turning the stop bolt in will make the RH lever move back, and turning it out will make it move forward. Tighten the locknut.
