Note: Neutral lock/park brake latch clearance should be checked when
there is a slight upward force placed on the drive levers to remove any
“slack” in the linkage.

After clevis pin has been inserted, install hairpin into hole on the clevis pin
between the neutral lock/park brake latch and drive lever (See Figure 11).
Repeat procedure on opposite side of unit.

d) 

Adjust brakes by adjusting wingnut on upper end of each  brake rod so
that when brakes are engaged there is approximately 1/4” of clearance
between ends of drive levers and handle grips (See Figure 10)

Note: Adjustment should allow the brakes to be engaged, yet allow the
neutral lock/park brake latches to be moved into the park brake position,
if not the brake linkages must be adjusted again.

e) 

Squeeze the drive levers and move both neutral lock/park brake latches
into the neutral lock position. Mower should move forward and backward
freely, if not, readjust as stated in Sections 3.11c and 3.11d.

position.
