This adjustment must be made with the rear
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

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.
Loosen the nuts (A & B) directly behind each ball
joint on both rods (C) that connect the pump arm
to the motion control assemblies. FIG - 5
Start the engine. The park brake must be engaged
and the motion control levers in the neutral slots
to start the engine. Run the engine approximately
half throttle
Release park brake to allow the wheels to rotate.
FIG - 5
Begin with either side and put the motion control
lever into the neutral position. Adjust the motion con-
trol linkage by rotating the double nuts(D) in the proper
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.
