Transmission Control
IMPORTANT:
The proper adjustment of the trans-
mission control stops is
essential
for efficient
operation and life of the transaxle. These stops
are properly adjusted at the factory and should
only require read justment if the transaxle or related
control linkage is removed or changed.
NOTE:
It would not be unusual for a new
machine, after initial 5 or 10 hours of operation, to
begin to not travel straight (this is due to the break-
in of the transmissions). To fine tune tracking, refer
to
Step 4 - Straight Tracking Adjustment on page

.
Step 1 -
Steering Lever Position Adjustment
NOTE:
For proper operation, the steering levers
should be adjusted to sit evenly using the following
procedure.
1. Examine the steering levers to make sure they
are
parallel front to back
in relation to one
an other. If they are not equal, adjust accord-
ingly. (The handles may or may not be even at
this point.)
NOTE:
The LH
steering lever is non-
adjust able
. This procedure will require
adjustment of the RH lever to make it even
with the LH lever.
Levers should sit
parallel to each other
Lever Alignment
2. Adjust the position of the RH lever by turning
the stop bolt in the Speed Control Actuator in
or out. Turning the stop bolt in will make the
RH lever move back, and turning it out will
make it move forward. Tighten the locknut.

Steering Handle Adjustment
An adjustment range of approximately 3 in.(76
mm) is available on the steering handles – the
han dles can be adjusted forward or aft depending
on the arm length of the operator. The handles can
be adjusted by loosening the locknut at the pivot
point and the locknut holding the handle in position
in the adjustment slide. Adjust han dles into most
comfortable position and tighten both locknuts.
