WARNING

5.5.1 Never Drive Straight Onto or Off a Curb

Never drive straight onto or off a curb. If you do the whole procedure at a very sharp angle it will tend to

minimize the contact of the mower deck with the curb and you will be able to more safely control the mower.

5.6 Mowing on Varying Terrain

See the Safety Instructions section of this manual, especially the parts on:

• Initial Operating Safety Guidelines

• Operation On Slopes

• Operation In Reverse

• Operation In Forward Direction

• Operation During Zero-Radius Turns

5.7 How to Adjust Neutral

Neutral refers to the mower movement when the engine is set to full throttle, parking brake is off, and the

control levers are in the neutral position. The mower should not

move forward or backward during this time. If the mower is

moving forward or rearward, the neutral setting must be adjusted.

The hydraulic pump has a Return-to-Neutral (RTN) device built

into the linkage of the pump. Before adjusting neutral, it is

necessary to lift the rear drive wheels off the ground using a jack

and stands. To make the adjustment, loosen the ¼” Allen bolt (A)

and rotate the RTN device on the pump corresponding to the

wheel that needs adjustment. If the right wheel turns in the

neutral position, then the right pump RTN needs to be adjusted.

The RTN mechanism should be rotated until the neutral position

is found and then retighten the ¼” allen bolt. Use care not to over

tighten the allen bolt. Repeat the procedure on the other pump if

necessary.

5.8 Changing the Speed/Sensitivity Adjustment

The controls are initially set with the Speed/Sensitivity Adjustment in the faster, more

sensitive position. If an operator is not completely familiar with the mower operation

the operator may desire to decrease the ground speed.

The slower setting has a corresponding decrease in the sensitivity of the controls.

In other words, a given amount of movement of the control levers will cause about a

25-30% change in the ground speed making the controls less sensitive. After

stopping the engine, the adjustment is made by removing rod ends from the

current holes in the control system torsion bar and reinstalling them into the

alternate holes. The holes closest to the operator position are for the slower, less sensitive setting and the

holes farthest from the operators position are the faster, more sensitive setting. You must then perform the

Tracking Adjustment described below.

5.9 How to Perform the Tracking Adjustment

First ensure that the tire pressure is equal on both rear drive tires (18-22 psi). Drive the mower on a level

parking lot with the engine at full throttle. Check that the mower drives in a straight line when both hand

controls are held to the full speed position. If not, park the mower and stop the engine. The adjustment is

made by loosening the jam-nuts on the control rods (this may need to be done to one or both control rods)

and adjusting the control rods. Once the jam-nuts are loosened at the top and bottom of the control rod

proceed to turning the control rod clockwise or counter-clockwise. Shortening the control rod will increase
