wheels rotating. Raise the rear of the machine
and block it up so the wheels are free to rotate.
CAUTION: Keep hands, feet and clothing away
from rotating tires.
Throttle Lever Tension
Tilt seat forward and remove the seat rod so the
seat may rotate forward onto the frame.
Place a 2x4 board between the foot plate and the
center of the seat to engage the seat safety switch.
Run engine full throttle to make sure wheels do
not rotate. Readjust if any rotation occurs.
Repeat the whole process for the opposite side
and tighten the nuts against the ball joints.
Turn machine off.
Reinstall the seat rod and check the wiring har-
ness to the seat safety switch for a good connec-
tion and return the seat to the normal position.

direction until the wheel stops rotating. FIG - 5 Move
the motion control lever forward then into the neutral
position and place it into the neutral slot. The wheel
must be stopped completely at this point. Now do
the same in reverse and release the lever. The lever
should return to neutral on its own.
