Full Forward Speed Adjustment - Step 4
1. Move the FSC to the full
FORWARD
speed
position.
2. Raise the body. The set screws in the left and
right Transmission Control Arms should not be
contacting the locating stud in the transaxle. If
they are, back the set screws out until they do
not touch.

Straight Tracking Adjustment - Step 5
1. Sit in the seat, start the engine, set throttle at full
speed, and with the FSC in the
NEUTRAL-
PARK
po sition check for movement of either
drive wheel (if either wheel moves backward or
forward, re fer to the
Neutral Position Adjustment
- Step 3
and readjust).
2. Check for straight ground tracking on a level
surface (with hands off the steering levers). Set
the FSC at several different speeds and ob serve
if the mower moves in a straight line (use cement
joint or other line on ground for refer ence).
3. If travel is not straight, shorten the control rod of
the slow side (adjust in 1/8 turn increments) to
match the faster side while maintaining the neu-
tral position. If straight tracking and neutral can
not be achieved, turn the control rod back to
where neutral can be achieved.
4. Lengthen the control rod of the faster side (ad just
in 1/8 turn increments) to match the slower side
while maintaining the neutral position.
5. If the forward travel is straight throughout the
speed range, except at maximum speed - place
the FSC in full
FORWARD,
turn the set screw in
the Transmission Control Arm, of the faster
side, in until it contacts the hydro stud. (Turning
the set screw in slows the wheel.)
Turn the set
screw in an additional 1/8 turn.
Recheck for
equal full for ward speed. Adjust this set screw
until equal full forward speed is achieved. Tight-
en the jam nut.
