ADJUSTMENTS
FORWARD-REVERSE LEVER TENSION ADJUSTMENT
Tension is adjusted by tightening the spring-loaded friction washers on the Forward - Reverse lever. Tighten
the friction washers to hold the lever in the desired position under normal loads. When the hydrostatic system
is subjected to heavy loads, the Forward-Reverse lever has a tendency to return to the neutral position. Ad-
ditional holding pressure from your hand may be needed to keep the lever in the desired position.
PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
The parking brake is a dry disc type located on the
rear transaxle. As the friction pads wear it may be
necessary to adjust the brake.
NOTE:
Check brake disc periodically to ensure it will
float on the brake shaft. Remove and coat with
never-seize annually.
TO ADJUST THE PARKING BRAKE:
1. Release the brake and remove the cotter pin
from the adjusting nut.
2. Tighten the adjusting nut
H
carefully until the
disc cannot be moved freely by trying to rotate
the disk by hand, then back off just far enough to
allow the disk to move freely.
3. Align nut and reinstall cotter pin.
TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS:
1. Remove the two bolts which fasten the brake
assembly to the transaxle.
NOTE:
There are two loose pins and a backing plate
which may fall out upon disassembly. Be sure these
are in place before assembling the brake.
2. Slide the disk off the brake shaft.
NOTE:
A woodruff key in the shaft must stay in
place.
3. Replace inner pad and install disk on the brake
shaft. It must slide freely on the shaft.
4. Back off brake adjustment nut, replace outer
pad in housing and reinstall the assembly to the
transaxle.
5. Adjust brake.
THROTTLE ADJUSTMENT
Tension adjustment is made by simply tightening the
spring loaded friction washers on the throttle lever.
High and low idle speeds are obtained by adjusting
the linkage at the engine.
