Note:
The brake must be engaged and motion-control
levers out to start engine. You do not have to be in the
seat because of the jumper wire being used.
7.
Run the unit at least 5 minutes with the drive levers at
full forward speed to bring hydraulic oil up to operating
temperature.
Note:
The motion-control lever needs to be in
N
EUTRAL
while making any necessary adjustments.
8.
Bring the motion-control lever into the N
EUTRAL
position.
9.
Adjust the pump-control-rod lengths by rotating the
double nuts on the rod in the appropriate direction
until the wheels slightly creep in reverse (
Figure 81
1.
Double nuts
10.
Move the motion-control levers to the R
EVERSE
position and while applying slight pressure to the lever,
allow the reverse-indicator springs to bring the levers
back to N
EUTRAL
.
Note:
The wheels must stop turning or slightly creep
in reverse.
11.
Shutoff the unit, remove the jumper wire from the wire
harness and plug the connector into the seat switch.
12.
Remove the jack stands.
13.
Raise the deck and install the height-of-cut pin.
14.
Check that the machine does not creep in N
EUTRAL
with the park brakes disengaged.
Adjusting the Motion-Control
Damper
You can adjust the top damper-mounting bolt to obtain a
more desired motion-control lever resistance. See
for mounting options.

Torque the locknut to 23 N∙m (17 ft-lb). The bolt must
protrude past the end of the locknut after torquing.

Adjusting the Motion-Control
Neutral-Lock Pivot
You can adjust the flanged nut to obtain the desired
motion-control lever resistance when moving it to the
neutral-lock position. See
for adjustment options.
1.
Loosen the jam nut.
2.
Tighten or loosen the flanged nut to the desired feel.
Note:
For more resistance, tighten the flanged nut.
For less resistance, loosen the flanged nut
3.
Tighten the jam nut.
