1.
Raise the rear wheels of the mower off the ground
and place on jackstands.
2.
Release the tension on the brake cables, with the
Parking Brake engaged, to allow the drive wheels to
rotate freely. (See Section 6.7.)
3.
With the Steering Control Levers in the neutral lock
position, start the engine and set the throttle to half
speed. If the drive wheels rotate, the neutral posi-
tion must be adjusted.
Note:
If the wheels DO NOT rotate, ignore the Neutral
Position Adjustment.
6.4.1 NEUTRAL POSITION ADJ. _________
Note:
To adjust for neutral position of the Steering
Control Levers, set the reverse Stop Bolt “F” first.
Maximum reverse speed is obtained when the spring (H)
is fully collasped. If the machine runs too fast in reverse,
move washers (G) to the spring side of the tab.

6.4.3 NEUTRAL POSITION ADJUST_______
1.
Loosen the lock nuts (C and D) on the control rod.
Turning the control rod (B) clockwise 1/2 turn will
increase the speed of the wheel pump. Turning
control rod (B) counter-clockwise will decrease the
speed of the wheel pump.
2.
Turn the control rod clockwise or counter-clockwise
until the wheels stop rotating.
3.
Tighten locknuts (C & D).

IMPORTANT:
Make sure the Linkage Stop contacts the Battery
Box prior to the Hydro Pump Control Arm
“Bottoming Out”. Bottoming out of the pump may
result in damage to the pump.
Positioning of the Linkage Stop on the Control Rod
determines the max. forward speed. Adjust as required to
obtain the same RPM of each drive wheel with the
Steering Levers in the max forward position.
Wheel Speed Adjustment:
Note:
To avoid internal damage to the pumps, the
linkage stop must contact the battery box before
the pump control “bottoms out”.
