parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
3. Loosen the bolts and flange nuts installed in the levers
(Figure 81).

Adjusting the Motion Control
Linkage
The pump control linkages are located below the seat on
either side of the fuel tank. Rotate the pump linkage with
a 1/2 inch wrench for fine tuning adjustments so that the
machine does not move in neutral. Any adjustments should
be made for neutral positioning only.
WARNING
The engine must be running and the drive wheels
must be turning so that the motion control
adjustment can be performed. Contact with moving
parts or hot surfaces may cause personal injury.
Keep your fingers, hands, and clothing clear of
rotating components and hot surfaces.
1. Prior to starting the engine, push the deck lift pedal
and remove the height of cut pin. Lower the deck to
the ground.
2. Raise the rear of the machine up and support it with
jack stands (or equivalent support) just high enough to
allow the drive wheels to turn freely.
3. Remove the electrical connection from the seat safety
switch, located under the bottom cushion of the seat.
The switch is a part of the seat assembly.
4. Temporarily install a jumper wire across the terminals
in the connector of the main wiring harness.
5. Start the engine. The brake must be engaged and
the motion control levers out to start the engine.
The operator does not have to be in the seat
because of the jumper wire being used. Run the
engine at full throttle and release the brake.
