Checking and Adjusting
Neutral
Service Interval:
Every 100 hours
When performing routine maintenance and/or engine
diagnostics, the transaxle must be shifted into
N
EUTRAL
(
). The machine has a N
EUTRAL
position on the shift lever, which controls the neutral in
the transaxle. Perform the following steps to ensure
that the neutral shift lever operates the transaxle
neutral correctly:
1.
Set the shift lever into the N
EUTRAL
position.
2.
Ensure that the neutral bracket is in the N
EUTRAL
position (level to the cable mounting bracket
located below the shift bracket) by turning the
driven clutch (
Note:
The machine should not roll back and
forth. If it does, manually move the neutral
bracket to the N
EUTRAL
position.

Rotate 1 of the locknuts (
) to achieve
a 0.762 to 1.524 mm (0.030 to 0.060 inch) gap
between the bottom of the nut/washer and the
neutral bracket.
Note:
You must hold the threaded shaft below
the bracket when adjusting the locknut position
on top.
4.
Rotate the other locknut to achieve a 0.76
to 1.52 mm (0.03 to 0.06 inch) gap between
the bottom of the nut/washer and the neutral
bracket.
5.
Pull up on each shift cable an ensure that there
is a 0.76 to 1.52 mm (0.03 to 0.06 inch) between
the nut/washer and the neutral bracket (
Note:
If there is a not a gap, adjust the nuts to
achieve the specified gap.

Inspecting the Primary
Drive Clutch
Service Interval:
Before each use or daily
Clutch operation should be monitored daily for proper
shifting. If shifting is sticky or sluggish, or the clutch
does not return completely to neutral when idling, the
clutch requires a simple cleaning.
Note:
Focus debris removal in and around moving
parts.
1.
Park the machine on a level surface, engage the
parking brake, shut off the engine, and remove
the key.
2.
Raise and secure the cargo bed.
3.
Remove dirt and mud buildup on the clutch
with water and dry the clutch immediately with
compressed air to remove excess water and
debris.
Note:
Remaining debris may be removed using
a fast-drying contact cleaner.
