4. Turn the key switch to the run position without starting
the engine. Loosen the jam nut and adjust the neutral
return spring assembly shaft length until the audible
alarm begins to sound. Secure the jam nut.
5. Turn the key switch off.
Adjusting the Service Brakes
Adjust the service brakes when there is more than 1 in.
(25 mm) of "free travel" of the brake pedal, or when the
brakes do not work effectively. Free travel is the distance
the brake pedal moves before braking resistance is felt.
1. Disengage the locking latch from the brake pedals so
that both pedals work independently of each other.
2. To reduce free travel of the brake pedals, tighten the
brakes:
A. Loosen the front nut on the threaded end of the
brake cable.
B. Tighten the rear nut to move the cable backward
until the brake pedals have 1/2 to 1 in. (13 to
25 mm) of free travel.
C. Tighten the front nuts after the brakes are adjusted
correctly.
Changing the Planetary Gear
Drive Oil
Change the oil initially after first 200 hours of operation.
Thereafter change the oil every 800 hours, or yearly,
whichever occurs first. Use a high quality SAE 85W-140
wt. gear lube.
1. With the machine on a level surface, position the wheel
so that the check/drain plug (Fig. 67) is at the lowest
position.

2. Place a drain pan under the hub, remove the plug, and
allow the oil to drain.
3. When all of the oil has drained, position the wheel so
that the plug hole is at the ten or two o'clock position.
4. Place a drain pan under the brake housing on the other
side of the wheel (Fig. 68).
5. Remove the plug from the bottom of the housing and
allow the oil to drain.
6. When all of the oil has drained, install the drain plug in
the housing.
7. Remove check plug from brake housing (Fig. 68).
8. Add high quality SAE 85W-140 wt. gear lube to the
planetary fill hole (at the ten or two o'clock position)
and to the check hole in brake housing until the level is
up to the bottom of the planetary and brake housing
check holes. Capacity is approximately 16 oz. (0.5 l).
9. Install the plugs.
10. Repeat the procedure on the opposite gear assembly.

Changing the Rear Axle
Lubricant
Change the oil initially after the first 200 hours of operation
and every 800 hours of operation thereafter.
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Clean the area around the 3 drain plugs, 1 on each end
and 1 in the center (Fig. 69).
