SECTION 5 - ADJUSTMENTS
5.1 STEERING/BRAKES
If machine is not as responsive as desired when either
Traction lever is squeezed, one or both brakes should
be adjusted as follows:
1. Operate mower on level terrain with Transmission
Shift Lever in No. 1 position. Determine which
brake requires adjustment.
2. Stop engine, remove the key from switch and
disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug. Secure
wire away from plug.
3. Turn nut clockwise to increase brake tension. See
Figure 5.1.
FIGURE 5.1
4. Place spark plug wire onto spark plug. Start engine
and operate mower with transmission in the No. 1
position to check for proper adjustment. If further
adjustment is required, follow all steps above.
5.2 TRACTION LEVERS/RODS
If the Traction Wheel Drive Belts become slack or new
belts have been installed, it will be necessary to adjust
the Traction Levers as follows:
1. Move the machine to a smooth, level surface and
turn the engine OFF. Release the traction locks.
Disconnect the Brake Rods from the Brake Arms
keeping the hairpins in the swivels.
2. Remove the key from the switch, remove the spark
plug wire from the spark plug and secure it away
from the plug.
3. Shift the transmission to No. 1 position.
PISTOL GRIP: Pull rearward hard on the traction
levers. The space used to lock the traction lock
lever should not bottom in the slot. Set the Traction
Lock Levers into the Brake Lock positions. The
Idler Pulleys, Upper and Lower should have
completely declutched the belt. Release the traction
locks and adjust as required.
4. Remove the hairpins from the traction rod
adjustment blocks and remove the adjustment
blocks from the traction links on each side of the
mower. See Figure 5.2.

5. Rotate the adjustment block as required to make
the idler arms almost touch against the belt cover
studs when the traction levers are locked. There
should be about 1/16” to 1/8” gap between the idler
arms and studs.
6. Reinstall the adjustment blocks and the hairpins.
Check the settings as described above. Repeat as
necessary.
7. Reassemble the Brake Rods to the Brake Arms
with the hairpins removed earlier.
8. Replace the Spark Plug Wire onto the Spark Plug.
Start the mower according to the Safety Instructions
and operate it to check the adjustments.

after adjustment of the Traction Belts is complete.
