Maintenance Instructions

ADJUSTMENTS

2.Use the adjustment nut on the PTO clutch actu- ator assembly (refer to PTO Clutch Linkage Adjustment photo) to set the tension applied by the PTO clutch lever. The adjustment nut is initially set to achieve an approximate measure- ment of 2-3/4" between the jam nut and the knuckle joint. As the belt and pulleys wear, it will be necessary to tighten the adjustment nut in order to prevent belt slippage--this adjustment is the same in the Engaged and Disengaged positions.

Do not overtighten the adjustment nut. This may cause damage to the clutch linkage and the PTO belt.

DANGER

If the engine must be running to perform a maintenance adjustment, keep hands, feet, and clothing from moving parts. DO NOT wear jewelry or loose clothing.

IMPORTANT: The proper adjustment of the transmission control stops is essential for efficient operation and life of the transmission. These stops are properly adjusted at the factory and should only require readjustment if the transmission 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 trans- missions). In this case, proceed to Tracking Adjustment - Step 4.

IMPORTANT: The following adjustment procedures are sequential. Check and adjust each function in the order given.

2.Turn the ignition key to the ON position and tog- gle the FSC switch to the Neutral position (fully retracted).

3.Tighten the adjustment bolt until it contacts the chassis and turn an additional 1/2 turn. Tighten jam nut.
