Adjustments
Forward Speed Control Friction Lock
The FSC friction lock is adjusted to
hold the
selected forward speed
when the steering levers
are moved. The friction should not be so heavy as
to make
moving the FSC difficult
(too much
friction). The procedure for checking and adjusting
the FSC friction lock is as follows:

1. Place the FSC in the full
FORWARD
position
and pull both steering levers back; the FSC
lever should not move. If the FSC lever
moves back when the steering levers are
pulled back, the
friction needs to be in-
creased.

2. With the steering levers held back, move the
FSC lever back from the
FORWARD
position.
With a proper amount of friction adjusted, the
FSC lever should move back with a slight
amount of resistance (friction). If the FSC
lever movement is “stiff”, the
friction needs to
be decreased.
3.
The FSC friction is
increased
or
decreased
by
tightening
or
loosening
the
friction ad-
justment nut.
Loosen or tighten the nut and
check the control function until conditions of
both steps 1 and 2 (above) are met.
