3) Block wheels in both directions to prevent machine movement.
4) Perform a detailed inspection of the following systems:
a) Speed Control Cable. This cable connects the speed control lever to the hydrostatic trans-
mission. With all linkage fully assembled cable travel should be smooth and easy. Approximately
15 lbs. of pressure should be required to depress the speed control lever at the handlebar. Lever
should snap back briskly when it is released. Cable should be free of cuts, kinks, binds and sharp
bends. Rubber seals to prevent entry of contamination should be intact at both cable ends.
Due to the critical nature of the Speed Control Cable- replacement is recommended
every 24 months or sooner for use in extreme conditions.
