Maintenance Instructions
ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING
The following adjustments are made with
the engine running. Keep all body parts
and tools away from rotating and hot
components, and secure all loose cloth-
ing.
4. With the body lowered and the FSC in
NEU-
TRAL-PARK,
start the engine. With the engine
at normal operating speed, check for movement
of the drive wheels.
5. Using a wrench on one tracking adjustment
nut, rotate the control rod
counterclockwise
just until the wheel on that side begins
to move
forward.
Then, counting the turns required, ro
tate the control rod
clockwise
just until the
wheel stops and then begins
to move in re-
verse.
Rotate the control rod back counter
clockwise half the number of turns required to
make the wheel go from moving forward to re
verse. The transmission is now centered in the
neutral window. Tighten the jam nut on the ball
joint and repeat the same procedure on the
other transmission.
6. Turn off the engine, and then lower the drive
tires onto the ground.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to tighten the FSC
friction adjustment if the transmissions are
moved out of neutral when the body is raised.
Refer to

screws out until they do not touch.
