Adjusting the
Neutral-Control Linkages
WARNING
The engine must be running when you
perform the control linkage adjustments.
Contact with moving parts or hot surfaces
may cause personal injury.
Keep your hands, feet, face, clothing and
other body parts away from rotating parts,
muffler and other hot surfaces.
WARNING
Mechanical or hydraulic jacks may fail to
support the machine and may cause serious
injury.
• Use jack stands when the supporting
machine.
• Do not use hydraulic jacks.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the PTO, and engage the parking brake.
2. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
3. Raise the rear of the machine on to jack stands
to raise the drive wheels off the ground.
4. Disengage the parking brake.
5. Start the engine and move the throttle to the
F
AST
position.
6. Place the neutral locks in the full forward position
and move the speed-control lever to the medium
speed position.
7. Hold the OPC levers down.
Note:
Hold the OPC levers down whenever
the speed-control lever is out of the N
EUTRAL
position; otherwise, the engine shuts off.
WARNING
The electrical system does not
perform proper safety shut off with the
operator-presence control (OPC) levers
held down.
• Ensure that the OPC levers are
working when the adjustment is
completed.
• Never operate the machine with the
OPC levers held down.
8. Squeeze 1 drive lever until you feel an increase
in resistance.
This is where neutral should be.
Note:
Ensure that you have not reached the
end of the neutral-lock slot. If you have, shorten
the control-lever linkage; refer to
Adjusting the
Control Rod (page 31) .
9. If the wheel turns while holding the drive lever
in the N
EUTRAL
position, the neutral-control
linkages need to be adjusted ( Figure 31 ).
If the wheel stops, proceed to step 12 .
10. Loosen the nut against the neutral-control
linkage yoke (
Figure 31 ).
11. Adjust the neutral-control linkage until the
respective drive wheel stops while the drive lever
is pulled against the neutral spring (N
EUTRAL
position) as shown in Figure 31 .
12. Turn the adjusting bolt approximately 1/4 turn
clockwise if the wheel is turning in reverse. Turn
the bolt approximately 1/4 turn counterclockwise
if the wheel is turning forward (
Figure 31 ).
13. Release the drive lever to the F
ORWARD
drive
position and squeeze back into the N
EUTRAL
position.
14. Check if the wheel stops. If not, repeat the
adjustment procedure.
15. After the adjustments are made, tighten the nuts
against the yokes.
16. Repeat this procedure for the opposite side.
