Figure 4. Parking Brake Adjustment
NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT
1. Set the engine deck up on jack stands so the
wheels are free to rotate.
2. Block the caster wheels to prevent an accident
should the machine fall off the jack stands.
3. Start the engine and determine if the drive wheels
rotate.
If the drive wheels consistently rotate when foot
pedal control is in neutral, go to step 4.
If the drive wheels inconsistently rotate, i.e. drive
wheels sometimes rotate and sometimes do not
when foot pedal is not depressed, then check
neutral adjustment bolt for "zero free play" in
neutral control spring
.
-NOTE-
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
If you turn the
adjustment bolt too much you will compress the
spring, making too much end play. Go to step 4.
4. If the drive wheels rotate in the forward travel
direction, turn the adjustment bolt clockwise until
the tire rotation stops. If the drive wheels rotate
in the backward travel direction, turn the adjust-
ment bolt counter-clockwise until the tire rota-
tion stops (See Figure 5).

Figure 6. Foot Control Pedal Adjustment
5. Check the adjustment of the right foot control
pedal for full forward speed. The pedal should
rest on the foot plate when the pump is stroked in
the full forward position. To make an adjust-
ment, disconnect the ball joint from the pedal arm
and loosen the jam nut (See Figure 6). Place the
foot control pedal forward against the foot rest
and adjust the ball joint on the rod until the stud
aligns with the hole in the arm. Bolt the ball joint
to the arm and tighten the jam nut.
