7.7.3 GSL ADJUSTMENTS
7.7.3.1 GSL Lateral Movement
DANGER
Stop engine, and remove key from ignition
before leaving Operator's seat for any
reason. A child or even a pet could engage
an idling machine.
The GSL (A) should easily move into
N-DETENT (B) by itself, and the tensioner cable
(C) should be tight when the GSL is at the right
hand side of the N-DETENT (B).
The Neutral Start Switch should also be fully
compressed. If the cable is too tight, it will
prevent the Neutral Start Switch from fully
compressing, and prevent proper engagement
of pintle arm.
Adjust the cable tension as follows:
a. Hold nut (D) from turning, and loosen jam-nut
(E).
b. To increase the tension, turn the nut (D)
clockwise.
c. To decrease the cable tension, turn the nut (D)
counter clockwise.
d. Hold nut (D) from turning, and tighten jam-nut
(E).
7.7.3.2 GSL Fore-Aft Movement
The GSL should remain as positioned by the
Operator, and yet can be moved without
excessive force. The spring is factory-set to
2.50 in. (64 mm) as shown on the illustration
below.
If necessary, adjust as follows:
a. Hold nut (F) from turning, and loosen jam-nut
(G).
b. To increase the pivot resistance, turn the nut (F)
clockwise to compress the spring.
c. To decrease the resistance, turn the nut (F)
counter clockwise to release the spring tension.
d. Hold nut (F) from turning, and tighten jam-nut
(G).
