5. Start the engine and move both steering control levers
forward against the stops in the steering cover.
6. Determine if the drive wheels are rotating equally or if
one is faster than the other. If the wheels are not the
same speed, proceed to the next step.
7. Shut engine off and place the steering control levers in
the park brake position
8. Loosen the cap screw under the seat platform on the
side which is rotating too fast. Tighten the cap screw
on the top of the steering cover to adjust the drive
straight bracket up to stop the steering control lever
sooner. Repeat this procedure until both drive wheels
rotate at the same speed. Figure 4-7
9. Tighten the cap screws under the seat platform on
both sides to lock the drive straight brackets in place.
Snug the cap screws on the top of the steering cover
so they don't move during operation.
10. IMPORTANT: With the engine off, disconnect the two
female spade connectors from each other (from step
#4) and reconnect them to the seat switch. This must
be completed so that the safety circuit is functioning
properly. Figure 4-6
11. Lower the seat platform and secure in place.
Park Brake Spring Adjustment
Occasionally check the park brake spring adjustment using
the following method:
1. Shut engine off, place steering control levers in the
park brake position, disengage deck clutch, remove
ignition switch key and disconnect negative battery
cable before doing any adjustments.
2. Make sure steering control levers are in the park brake
position.
3. Adjust the nylock nut on the end of the brake rod so
that 0.625" of thread is showing. Repeat for other side.
