B. To get both wheels to come out of neutral at the
same time, adjust the left neutral turnbuckle (J,
Figure 6-6). Adjust as follows:
1) If the mower pulls to the left, loosen both
jam nuts (F & G) and lengthen turnbuckle
(J). Tighten the jam nuts and drive the
mower forward. Repeat this procedure until
both wheels start to turn at the same time.
2) If the mower pulls to the right, loosen both
jam nuts (F & G) and shorten turnbuckle (J).
Tighten the jam nuts and drive the mower
forward. Repeat this procedure until both
wheels start to turn at the same time.
-NOTE-
This adjustment affects the tracking of the mower.
Turning the turnbuckle (J) one or two flats has an
adverse effect throughout the tracking range.
If the mower pulls one way at slow speed and then
pulls the other way at fast speed, a tracking
adjustment needs to be done.
Figure 6-6 Neutral and Tracking Adjustments
5. Tighten the jam nuts (D & E) to hold the setting in
place.
6. SLOWLY rotate the turnbuckle (J, Figure 6-6) on the
left side until the mower starts to creep forward.
When the mower starts to creep forward, stop the
movement and turn the turnbuckle back 1/2 turn or
three flats (Figure 6-6).
7. Tighten jam nuts (F & G) on the left side and
remaining jam nut (D) on the right side.
8. When the speed control lever is actuated, the mower
should travel in a straight line. If it travels straight,
perform the Tracking Adjustment procedures. If the
mower pulls to one side, it is an indication that one of
the wheels is coming out of neutral before the other.
This condition must be corrected as follows:
A. If the mower pulls to the right, it is an indication
that the left wheel is coming out of neutral before
the right wheel. If the mower pulls to the left, it
is an indication that the right wheel is coming out
of neutral before the left wheel.
