12. Lower the unit.
13. Check steering lever adjustment. See
ADJUST SHIFT LEVER LINKAGE
IMPORTANT:
If the shift lever and the
transmission detent are improperly aligned,
the transmission may fail prematurely. Align
the shift lever and detent as carefully as
possible. The .030 (.8mm) clearance helps
prevent premature wear of the detent plate
and shift lever.
The transmission shift lever is attached to the
transmission shift arm with two 5/16-18 bolts
(Figure 13).
To adjust:
1. Stop the engine. Remove ignition key.
Put PTO lever in the "OFF" position. Put
the shift lever in neutral.
2. Loosen two 5/16-18 bolts on shift lever.
3. Align the shift lever so it is centered in
gear position 2 on the detent plate and is
.030 in. (.8mm) from the V (Figure 14).
NOTE:
If the shift lever cannot be adjusted to
tolerance with the shift lever hardware alone,
loosen the hardware holding the detent plate
to the frame and adjust the detent plate to
tolerance.
4. Tighten bolts securely.
NOTE:
Before starting unit, test the shift lever
to make sure it engages all gear positions.
