Transmission Control
IMPORTANT:
The proper adjustment of the
transaxle 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 the initial 5 or 10 hours of operation, to begin to
not travel straight (this is due to the break-in of the
transaxles). To fine tune tracking, refer to
Step 5 -
Straight Tracking Adjustment
in this section.
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 accordingly.
(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.
