8. STEERING CONTROL ADJUSTMENTS A. 

To Adjust Neutral:

 

a. Remove the fender skirts from each

 

side of the machine.

 

b. Block up the unit so that the Drive

 

Wheels are off the ground.

 

c. Start the engine and run at a fast idle

 

with the Steering control levers in the

 

"out" position.

 

d. Loosen the locknuts tightened against

 

the rod end ball joints in the Upper

 

Linkage Assembly. (Note: One of these

 

is a left hand nut and will have to be

 

turned backwards.)

 

e. Adjust the Neutral Position by turning

 

the rod in the upper linkage until the

 

wheel stops turning.

 

f. Retighten the nuts on the Upper

 

Linkage Assembly and check to see that

 

the drive wheel is still not turning.

 

g. Repeat steps 1-6 for the other side.

 

h. Shut off engine before removing the

 

blocks.

 

B. To Adjust "IN" Position of the Steering 

Controls:

 

a. Remove the 2 Front Bolts,

 

Lockwashers, and Washers which hold

 

the Fender Cap.

 

b. Pull the boot from the hole in the

 

fender cap, exposing the cast iron lever.

 

c. Using a 5/32° Alien Wrench, turn the

 

setscrew to adjust the stop.

 

d. Replace the Boot into the hole in the

 

Fender Cap.

 

c. Replace the 2 Front Bolts,

 

Lockwashers, and Washers.

 

C. To Align Handles:

 

Sit on the seat and push the control 

levers full forward and full backward. If 

the ends do not match the handles 

maybe adjusted as follows: 

a. Locate Setscrew stops in the Steering 

Control Lever Base which stop the lever 

in each direction. (Note: The one at the 

rear is the stop for FWD and the one in 

the front is the stop for REV.) 

b.-Adjust setscrew stops so that handles 

line-up together when shifted full forward 

and full reverse.

D. Adjusting for Straight Forward 

Tracking:

 

In a large open area, actuate the control 

handles into the full forward position. If the 

mower veers in either direction Left for 

Right some adjustment is necessary. a. If 

the mower veers to the right, then the 

right hydrostat needs to be sped up. If the 

mower veers to the left, then the left 

hydrostat need to be sped up. b. Stop the 

machine and shut off the engine.

 

c. Slightly loosen the bolt at the lower end 

of the upper linkage assembly on the side 

that is slower. Using a 1/8" alien wrench 

turn the setscrew 1/4 turn in. It may take 

several test drives to get the mower to 

track straight forward. d. Once the 

tracking is to the operators liking, 

completely tighten the bolt on the control 

linkage assembly that was loosened 

earlier.

 

e'. Recheck to make sure neutral adjust 

has not been effected, see procedure A.
