4.
Raise the rear of the machine up and support it
with jack stands (or equivalent support) just high
enough to allow the drive wheels to turn freely.
5.
Remove the electrical connection from the seat
safety switch, located under the bottom cushion
of the seat.
Note:
The switch is a part of the seat assembly.
6.
Temporarily
install a jumper wire across the
terminals in the connector of the main wire
harness.
7.
Start the engine, run it at full throttle, and
disengage the parking brake.
Note:
Before starting the engine, ensure that
the parking brake is engaged and that the
motion-control levers are out. You do not have
to be in the seat.
8.
Run the machine at least 5 minutes with the
drive levers at full forward speed to bring the
hydraulic fluid up to the operating temperature.
Note:
The motion-control levers must be in
neutral while you are making any adjustments.
9.
Bring the motion-control levers into the N
EUTRAL
position.
10.
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 (

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 neutral.
Note:
The wheels should stop turning or slightly
creep in reverse.
12.
Shut off the machine.
13.
Remove the jumper wire from the wire harness
and plug the connector into the seat switch.
14.
Remove the jack stands.
15.
Raise the deck and install the height-of-cut pin.
16.
Check and ensure that the machine does
not creep in neutral with the parking brake
disengaged.
Adjusting the
