LINKAGE ADJUSTMENTS
Stop the engine and remove the spark plug wire
before making any belt adjustments.
REVERSE
:
Maximum reverse speed is limited by the traction
bellcrank hitting a stop inside the main fame.
(Figure 2)
FORWARD
:
The traction control lever should just contact the handle
at maximum speed.
To Adjust Forward Speed:
(Figure 2)
1. Turn the Speed adjustment knob
A
all the way in
the “fast” direction (counter-clockwise). Remove the
hairpin cotter connecting the lower traction rod
B
to
the lever on the traction cross shaft. Remove the rod
from the cross shaft.
2. Pull up on the rod until all the travel of the linkage
is used. Squeeze the traction lever to the handle.
Adjust the rod by turning it in our out of the swivel
C
at the traction bellcrank until it just goes into the hole
in the cross shaft lever
E
.
3. Reinstall the rod in the cross shaft lever and secure
with the hairpin cotter from step 1.
The spring
F
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.
