10.4 FORWARD AND REVERSE SPEED ADJUSTMENT ______________________________
The forward and reverse speed adjustments are made at the traction pedal. Set the forward speed before you adjust
the reverse speed.
To adjust the forward speed -
1.
Make sure that the neutral adjustment is set. Rotate the mow
speed stop to the transport position. See 6.4
2.
Start the engine and check the forward travel speed with the
engine at full throttle. The correct forward transport speed is 14.9
mph (24 km/hr).
3.
Stop the engine. To adjust the forward speed, disconnect the rod
end from the pedal and loosen the jam nut. Turn the eye bolt to
the right to decrease the forward speed. Turn the eye bolt to the
left to increase speed. Tighten the jam nut to set the adjustment.
Connect the rod end to the pedal.
4.
Adjust the neutral switch.
5.
Check the forward transport speed. If necessary, adjust the eye bolt and the neutral switch until forward transport
speed is 14.9 mph (24 km/hr).
10.5 MOW SPEED _____________________________________________________________
The cutting quality is improved at speeds lower than the transport
speed of the mower. A mow speed of 6 to 7 mph (10 to 11 km/hr) is set
at the factory and is correct for most grass conditions. The local turf
condition can need a different speed.
To adjust the mow speed, loosen the flange nut and adjust the pedal
stop. Move the pedal stop closer to the pedal to decrease the mow
speed. Move the pedal stop closer to the floorboard to increase the
mow speed. Tighten the flange nut to hold the adjustment in position.
10.6 REVERSE SPEED _________________________________________________________
The reverse speed is set at the pedal.
1.
Set the forward speed.
2.
Start the engine and check the reverse speed with the engine at
full throttle. The correct reverse speed is 6 mph (9.6 km/hr).
3.
Stop the engine. Loosen the flange nut on reverse pedal stop.
Adjust position of pedal stop to set the reverse speed. Turn pedal
stop to the right side to increase speed. Turn pedal stop to the left
side to decrease speed. Tighten the nut to set the adjustment.
4.
Start the engine and check the reverse speed. Repeat the
adjustment until reverse speed is 6 mph (9.6 km/hr).
