Neutral adjustment
1. Park the machine on a level surface and disengage the PTO. Stop the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop,
and remove key. Engage the parking brake.
2. Raise and support the unit so that the drive wheels are off the ground.
3. Unplug the seat switch on the bottom side of the seat and install a temporary jumper wire across the plug
connector (wire harness side).
4. Start the engine and allow the machine to warm up for 3-5 minutes.
5. Disengage the parking brake.
6. Move the motion control levers into the neutral position.
7. Increase the engine speed to full throttle. Observe the movement of the rear drive wheels. If either drive wheel
is moving in forward or reverse, a neutral adjustment is needed.
NOTE: A slight creep in reverse is acceptable.
