To Adjust the PTA
™
Feature
WARNING! Before performing any maintenance procedure, the engine should be stopped
and the spark plug wire disconnected.
Tool Needed:
• 5/16" socket
It should be easy to engage the PTA
™
Feature. If you find it hard to release the
PTA
™
lever and pivot the frame to the
side, loosen the axle nut one quarter turn
or so (Figure 50). Also be sure there is
some play between the bottom of the PTA
lever and the PTA pin at the rear of the
machine frame.
Keeping the axle clean will also help the
PTA
™
feature work smoothly.
Lubricating the black axle slides (Figure
50) with FLUID FILM
®
or comparable
lubricant will also help keep the PTA
action smooth.
***For engine maintenance, please refer to the engine
manufacturer's owner's manual.***
