4. Connect one end of the second jumper cable to the
negative (–) terminal of the booster battery.
5. Make the final jumper cable connection to the engine
block or the furthest ground point away from the
discharged battery.
6. Start engine (refer to
Operation Section
). If engine
will not start after several tries, unit or battery may
need service.
7. After engine starts, leave cables connected for one to
two minutes.
8. Disconnect cables in reverse order.
9. Operate unit as normal to charge battery.
ADJUSTMENTS
Steering Control Neutral Adjustment
If the unit has excessive creep when the control levers
are in neutral, adjust as follows. (Figure 13)
1. If hydraulic system is cold, run unit for a minimum of
five minutes, then shut off unit.
2. Make sure both control levers are in neutral.
3. With the unit up to and facing a wall, jack the unit up
so that both drive wheels are off the ground.
4. Have someone depress center of seat to actuate
seat switch.
5. Start the engine and run at about half throttle or
faster. Release parking brake.
6. Move the control levers from Forward to Reverse
several times to make sure controls are free and
check Neutral adjustment. If binding is found,
correct it.
7. Minor adjustments may be made by simply adjusting
the stop screw which contacts the lever on the pump.
The screw may be turned in or out to bring the unit
into neutral.
8. If major adjustment is needed, it is best to remove
the front ball joint from the bottom of the control
levers and turn the stop screw in or out until neutral is
found.
9. Then, with the adjustable arms of the parking brake
set so the clamping bolt is in the middle of the slot,
adjust the ball joint on or off the control link rod so
that their mounting bolts fit into the slot at the end of
the adjustable interlock.
10. Reinstall the front ball joint(s).
NOTE:
When properly adjusted, the parking brake inter-
lock will move upward when the parking brake is set and
hold the steering control levers in neutral. The parking
brake starting interlock switch will not be depressed
unless the steering control levers are in neutral. The
interlock holds the levers in neutral until the parking brake
is released.
11. Move the control levers, from forward to reverse
several times to make sure it is adjusted to neutral.
Readjust if necessary.
12. Stop the engine.
Adjusting Control Levers
To be done after neutral has been set. (Figure 13)
1. If desired the steering control levers can be set to
match (be in line) when in neutral.
2. Remove front ball joint from bottom of steering
control lever on side which is going to be adjusted.
Screw ball joint on or off link rod to hydrostat so that
control levers align. Replace rod end on lower part of
steering control lever.
3. If needed adjust parking brake interlock so that
interlock is able to move up when both steering
control levers are in neutral. To do this loosen the
clamping bolt on the adjustable member of the
interlock and slide it in either direction until the
interlock moves up and latches the ball joint
mounting bolts.
WARNING:
Make sure cables are clear of any
moving engine parts before starting engine.
WARNING:
This adjustment requires operation
of the engine. Use extreme care to avoid
contact with moving parts and hot surfaces. Be
sure rear of unit is well supported and secure
before starting engine.
