ADJUSTMENTS
BLADE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Stop the engine and remove the spark plug wire
before making any belt adjustments.
1. Place a block under the deck to securely hold it at
the height desired.
2. Loosen the two bolts
H
holding the skid plates
G
on
each side of the machine.
(Figure 1)
3. Move the skid plates to sit level on the ground.
Retighten bolts H and remove block.
MAXIMUM TRAVEL SPEED ADJUSTMENT
1. To decrease maximum travel speed of the machine,
turn the speed adjustment knob
F
clockwise.
(Figure 2)
2. To increase maximum travel speed of the machine
turn the speed adjustment knob
F
counter clockwise.
LINKAGE ADJUSTMENTS
Stop the engine and remove the spark plug wire
before making any belt adjustments.
REVERSE
:
Maximum reverse speed is limited by the left link lever
contacting the engine plate.
(Figure 3)
FORWARD
:
The traction control lever should contact the handle at
maximum speed.
To Adjust Forward Speed:
(Figure 4)
1. Turn the Speed adjustment knob
A
all the way in the
faster direction (clockwise). Remove the clevis pin
B
connecting the rod to the lever on the cross shaft.
Loosen the jam nut
C
securing the clevis.
2. Pull up on the rod until the linkage hits the stop for
maximum forward speed. Squeeze the traction
lever
D
to the handle. Check the alignment of the
hole in the clevis with the hole in the lever. Adjust
the clevis by turning it on or off the rod until the
holes line up.
3. Reinstall the clevis pin, tighten the jam nut, and
adjust the speed control knob to the desired speed.
The spring
E
on the traction linkage allows the traction
lever to be squeezed to the handle when the speed
control knob is set to less than maximum speed. If the
preload on the spring is not sufficient, the nut may be
tightened to compress the spring more.
