Return-To-Neutral Adjustment
To determine if it is necessary to adjust the neutral return,
perform the following steps.
1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake and turn
off the engine.
2. Move the ground speed control levers into the operating
position, pull levers rearward and release.
3. Move the ground speed control levers out towards the
neutral position. If the levers do not align with the
notches in the neutral lock plate, it is necessary to
adjust the adjustment linkage rod (B, Figure 37).
Adjustment
1. Pull the ground speed control lever rearward and release
to check position. If the ground speed control lever
does not align itself with the notch in the neutral plate,
then move the set collar (A) forward or back on the
adjustment linkage rod (B) until the speed control lever
aligns with the notch. Retighten the set collar.
2. Make sure that the neutral return bushing (D) is seated
correctly in the spring stop plate (E).
3. Pull the ground speed control lever rearward and release
to check position again. Adjust as necessary to align
the ground speed control levers with the notches in the
neutral lock plate.
It is important to note that after every adjustment of the
neutral return rod, the lever must be pulled rearward and
released to properly check the neutral position.
