ADJUSTMENTS
Forward Speed Control Friction Lock
The FSC friction lock is adjusted to
hold the se-
lected forward speed
when the steering levers are
moved. The friction should not be so heavy as to
make
moving the FSC difficult
(too much friction).
The procedure for checking and adjusting the FSC
friction lock is as follows:
Friction

Forward Speed Control Friction Lock
1. Place the FSC in the full
FORWARD
position
and pull both steering levers back; the FSC lever
should not move. If the FSC lever moves back
when the steering levers are pulled back, the
friction needs to be increased.
Forward Speed Control Position
(Checking Friction Lock)
2. With the steering levers held back, move the
FSC lever back from the
FORWARD
position.
With a proper amount of friction adjusted, the
FSC lever should move back with a slight
amount of resistance (friction). If the FSC lever
movement is “stiff”, the
friction needs to be de-
creased.
3. The FSC friction is
increased
or
decreased
by
tightening
or
loosening
the
friction adjust-
ment nut.
Loosen or tighten the nut and check
the control function until conditions of both steps
1 and 2 (above) are met.
