BLADE CONTROL LINKAGE
The effective length of the blade clutch rod
F
may be
adjusted by turning the swivel on or off the rod. Making
the rod longer will raise the blade control lever in the
“OFF” position and increase the engagement force on
the blade clutch. Making the rod shorter will lower the
blade control lever in the “OFF” position and decrease
the engagement force on the blade clutch.
(Figure 1)
PARKING BRAKE LINKAGE
1. Disconnect the vertical link rod G.
(Figure 1)
2. Disconnect the transaxle freewheel linkage and
remove the rear cover. Push the lower lever
forward until all the slack in the linkage is taken up.
There should be about 3/8” between the front of
the lower lever and the front of the slot it operates
in as a starting point for adjustment.
(Figure 2)
3. If adjustment is required, loosen the jam nut H at
the clevis and disconnect the rod. Turn the rod
in or out of the clevis as required and reconnect.
(Figure 3)
4. Adjust the vertical link rod so the brake lever
‘snaps’ over center and locks in the “ON” position.
5. Pull and push on the machine. The wheels should
skid. If the wheels turn, rotate the lower rod out of
the swivel a turn at a time. Push and pull on the
machine with each turn to check the adjustment.
When the wheels don’t turn extend the rod one
more turn. Tighten the jam nut H
(Figure 3)
and reinstall the rear cover and reconnect the
freewheel linkage.
6. If there is no more adjustment, remove the cotter
pin on the castle nut
K
securing the brake arm to
the transaxle. Tighten the castle nut
K
one-sixth of
a turn at a time until the brake holds. Replace the
cotter pin.
TRANSAXLE NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT
1. The transaxle comes from the factory with the
neutral position set. It should never require
adjustment. If it needs adjustment, raise the rear
of the machine and support it securely on jack-
stands with the wheel off the ground.
2. Loosen bolt
J
on the transaxle. Start the engine.
3. Rotate plate
L
to the position where the wheels will
no longer turn. Retighten bolt
J
.
