BLADE CONTROL LINKAGE
The effective length of the blade control rod may be
adjusted by turning the rod
J
in or out of the swivel
where it connects tot he blade bellcrank
L
. Adjust the
rod so there is about a 1/8” (3 mm) space between the
bellcrank and the rear cover when the blade control
lever is engaged (held to the handle).
(Figure 3)
PARKING BRAKE LINKAGE
The parking brake linkage has a spring that applies
force to the transaxle brake arm in the ‘ON’ position.
There should be some space or free “play’ in the brake
linkage between the spring and the transaxle brake
arm in the ‘OFF’ position. The brake lever should snap
over center and lock in the engaged position.
1. Push and pull on the machine. The wheels should
skid. If the wheels turn, disconnect the brake rod
K
at the brake lever and turn out of the swivel
M
below the engine deck 1 or 2 turns. Reconnect the
brae rod and check the adjustment by pulling and
pushing the machine again. Continue adjusting
until the machine skids with the brake ‘ON’. Be
sure there is free ‘play’ in the ‘OFF’ position so
the brake doesn’t drag during operation. If a
satisfactory adjustment has been made skip to step
4.
(Figure 3)
2. If adjustment cannot be obtained that will lock
the wheels with the brake ‘ON’ and maintain free
‘play’ in the ‘OFF’ position the brake may need to
be adjusted. This adjustment will not normally be
required.
3. Remove the cotter pin from the brake adjusting
castle nut
N
.
(Figure 4)
Tighten the nut 1/6 of a
turn at a time. Check the adjustment each time
until the wheels lock up with the brake ‘ON’ and the
linkage has free ‘play’ in the ‘OFF’ position. When
a satisfactory adjustment has been found, reinstall
the cotter pin to maintain the position of the castle
nut.
4. Reinstall the brake rod to the brake lever and
secure with hairpin cotter from step 1.
DO NOT OVER ADJUST!
Over adjustment will cause
brake drag resulting in excess heat and brake wear.
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
O
on the transaxle. Start the engine.
3. Rotate plate
P
to the position where the wheels will
no longer turn. Retighten bolt
O
.
