Neutral Adjustment
The neutral system for this mower is a function of the
transaxles.
1. Drive the machine to a flat, level surface. Engage the
parking brake and disengage the PTO.
2. Without touching the forward speed control levers
disengage the parking brake. If the unit moves, the
neutral systems on the transaxles are not correctly
adjusted. See your dealer.
Suspension Adjustment
The shock assemblies (A, Figure 37 - front shown, rear
similar) can be adjusted to vary the amount of pre-load
applied to the springs. This allows the operator to customize
the ride according to operator’s weight and operating
conditions.

Less Pre-Load:
• Light operator weight.
• Softer, more cushioned ride.
• Best for relatively flat terrain.
More Pre-Load:
• Heavy operator weight.
• Stiffer, more rigid ride.
• Better handling and greater stability on hilly terrain.
To Adjust the Spring Pre-Load:
1. Park unit on a flat, level surface. Disengage the
PTO, pivot the ground speed control levers out to the
NEUTRAL position, and stop the engine.
2. Turn the pre-load adjustment collar (B, Figure 37) with
your hand to a higher notch (-) to decrease the pre-load,
or to a lower notch (+) to increase the pre-load.
