NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT
1. Stop engine and remove ignition key.
2. Tilt seat forward.
3. Move the control lever rearward and release the
control lever. This control lever should return to a
position where the control lever can be swung
outward and lock in the neutral outward position.
4. If adjustment is needed, move the control lever
back to the inward position and begin to pull rear-
ward. At this beginning rearward motion the cle-
vis pin should begin to contact the end of the slot
and start putting pressure on the spring.
5. If adjustment is needed, loosen the nut against
the yoke and while applying slight rearward pres-
sure on the motion control lever, turn the head of
the adjustment bolt in the appropriate direction
until the lever is centered.
6. Move the control lever rearward and release the
control lever. This control lever should return to a
position where the control lever can be swung
outward and lock in the neutral outward position.
MOTION CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
1. Raise the drive wheels of the Zero Turn
off of the ground. Safely block the frame
in this position so it is secure. This
adjustment must be made with the drive
wheels turning.
2. Remove the electrical connection from
the seat switch and temporarily install a
jumper wire across the terminals of the
wiring harness.
3. Loosen the jamnuts on the hex turnbuckle,
which connects the lever control arm to
the pump control arm. Note: the nuts to
the front of the hex turnbuckle have left-
handed threads.
4. Start the engine. Run the engine at full
throttle and release brake.
5. Position the control levers in the neutral
position. If the drive wheels creep
(rotate) in the neutral position then
lengthen or shorten the turnbuckle
assembly. Make the adjustment to stop
the wheel from rotating.
6. Re-tighten the nuts at the end of the hex
turnbuckles and repeat the procedure for
the opposite side of the unit.
7. Shut the unit off. Remove the jumper wire from
the wiring harness and replace the connectors
into the seat switch. Never operate the mower
unless all safety switches are operating properly.
DRIVE ADJUSTMENTS
Steering and motion controls should be uniform in all
forward and reverse speeds. From the reverse posi-
tion the levers should automatically return to neutral
when released.
TEST DRIVE OPERATIONS
Check air pressure in tires. Equal tire pressure is
critical for proper drive operation.
1. Raise drive wheels off ground. Safely block
the frame in this position.
2. Put control levers in neutral lock position
(control levers swung outward).
3. Start engine. Wheels should not rotate. If one or
both drive wheels are turning, perform proce-
dures under “Neutral Adjustments” for side(s)
that wheel turns.
