Thread one hex nut onto the eyebolt on the chute
directional control assembly until there is at least
two inches of threads showing between the nut and
the head of the eyebolt. See Figure 10.
Figure 10
Place the eyebolt into the hole located half way up
the left handle. Secure with cupped washer
(cupped side against the handle, see insert, Figure
10) and hex nut.
Adjust the chute directional control support bracket
(see Figure 9) so that the spiral on the chute
directional control fully engages the teeth on the
chute assembly. Tighten the nuts on the chute
directional control bracket securely. Tighten the hex
nuts on the eyebolt.
Check to make sure all nuts and bolts on the control
panel and all four bolts which secure the handles to
the frame are tight.
Lamp wiring (Models E645 and E665 only)
Wrap the wire from the lamp down the right handle
until the wire can be plugged into the alternator lead
wire under the fuel tank. Be sure the lamp wire does
not interfere with the movement of any controls or
cables.

and shift lever, move the shift lever all the way over to
fifth (5) position. With the traction control lever

the unit again. Move the shift lever back to the fast
reverse position, then all the way over again. There
should be no resistance in the shift lever, and the and
the wheels should keep turning
If you have resistance when moving the shift lever or
the wheels stop when they should not, loosen the jam
nut on the traction control cable and unthread the
cable one turn. If the wheels do not stop when you
engage the traction control clutch grip, loosen the jam
nut on the traction control cable and thread the cable
in one turn. Recheck the adjustment and repeat as
necessary. Tighten the jam nut to secure the cable
when correct adjustment is reached.
