Begin with either side and put the motion control
lever into the neutral position. Adjust the motion
control linkage by rotating the double nuts in the
proper direction until the wheel stops rotating. FIG
- 6 Move the motion control lever forward then
into the neutral position and place it into the neu-
tral slot. The wheel must be stopped completely
at this point. Now do the same in reverse and re-
lease the lever. The lever should return to neutral
on its own.
SETUP AND ADJUSTMENTS
Motion Control Linkage Adjustment
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.
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.
Park Brake Adjustment
1. Stop engine and remove key, release park brake
and check the gap between the rear tire and the
brake arm. The gap should be 1/8” to 1/4”.
3. Make sure the brake arm on both sides does
not touch the tire when the brake is in the off
position. FIG - 4
2. If adjustment is needed, loosen the lock nut
next to the yoke. Remove the pin from the front
yoke so you can rotate the yoke on the adjust-
ment link until the proper gap is achieved.
