refer to Adjusting the Control-Handle Position
(page 57).
6. Repeat to adjust the control levers.
Adjusting the
Motion-Control Linkage
Located on either side of the fuel tank, below the seat
are the pump-control linkages. Rotating the pump
linkage with a wrench (1/2 inch) allows fine tuning
adjustments so that the machine does not move in
neutral. Any adjustments should be made for neutral
positioning only.
WARNING
Engine must be running and drive wheels
must be turning so motion control adjustment
can be performed. Contact with moving parts
or hot surfaces may cause personal injury.
Keep 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.
2. Lower deck to the ground.
3. Raise the rear of machine up and support it with
jack stands (or equivalent support).
Note:
Raise the machine just high enough to
allow the drive wheels to turn freely.

4. Remove the electrical connection from the seat
safety switch, located under the bottom cushion
of the seat.
Note:
The switch is a part of the seat assembly.
5. Temporarily install a jumper wire across the
terminals in the connector of the main wire
harness.
6. Start the engine and run it at full throttle and
disengage the brake.
Note:
The brake must be engaged and the
motion-control levers must be out to start
the engine. The operator does not have to
be in the seat, because of the jumper wire
being used.
7. Run the unit for at least 5 minutes with the drive
levers at full forward speed to bring the hydraulic
fluid up to the operating temperature.
