RETURN TO NEUTRAL SETTING
The return to neutral mechanism on the transmis-
sion is designed to set the directional control into
a neutral position when the operator releases the
vehicle hand control. Follow the procedures be-
low to properly adjust the return to neutral mecha-
nism on the transaxle:
1. Confirm the transaxle is in the operating mode
(bypass disengaged). Raise the vehicle’s drive
tires off the ground to allow free rotation.
NOTE: It may be necessary to remove the
drive tire from the axle hub to access the link-
age control and the transaxle return arm.
2. Remove the Original Equipment Manufacturer’s
(OEM’s) control linkage at the control arm. Refer
to Figure 5.
3. Start the engine and increase the throttle to
full engine speed.
4. Check for axle rotation. If the axle does not
rotate, go to Step 5. If the axle rotates, go to
Step 6.
5. Stop the vehicle’s engine. Reattach and ad-
just the OEM linkage according to Step 3 and
Step 4. Stop the vehicle engine. Refer to Figure
5.
6. Note the axle directional movement. Stop the
vehicle engine. Loosen the RTN adjustment
screw until the control arm can be rotated. Ro-
tate the control arm in the opposite direction of
the wheel rotation in 5 degree increments.
Tighten the RTN adjustment screw. Refer to
table 6. Required Torque values, page 14. Re-
check according to steps 3 and 4. Stop the ve-
hicle engine. Reattach and adjust the OEM link-
age according to the OEM manual. Recheck ac-
cording to steps 3 and 4. Refer to Figure 5.
