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.
