EverRide WASP - Final Check; Adjustment

Assembly Instructions
7. Using drive rods provided, turn them into
the 5/16” swivel located in the left and right
hand idler engagement bracket. Adjust the
rods so that there is approximately 1/4” to
3/8” between the rod and the bottom of the
thumb latch. Rods should be locked in place
by using 4 – hair pin cotters and by placing
a 5/16” fl at washer to be inside of the drive
handle between the drive lever and hair pin
cotter. (See fi g. 2)
8. With the thumb latches locked in the neutral
position, adjust the brake swivel until you feel
a slight resistance when hooking it back to
the idler assembly. Remember with thumb
locks in the neutral position, you should
be able to free wheel the machine. When
the thumb locks are rotated all the way to
the lock position, the brake should lock the
wheel. At this time, you may also hook up
the blade engagement rod, adjusting the
length of the rod so the bell crank will not
bottom out in the slot.

9. At this point, oil and fuel engine. Make
sure that the air pressures in the rear tires
are equal at (12 psi). Adjust the front tire
pressures to (20 psi). Your mower is now
ready for use.
Final Check / Adjustment
1. Adjust the brake control rod to obtain “free
wheeling” with the drive levers in the neutral
position and positive braking when the drive
levers are squeezed close to the handle
grips. Shorten the effective length of the
brake rod to increase braking.
2. Check air pressure in drive wheels (12 psi)
and caster wheels (20 psi). This is critical for
appropriate mower tracking.
3. Check for proper belt tension (see belt
tension guide).
Keep a 1/8” to 1/4” clearance between belt
guides and belts. Be sure the drive control
rod is properly adjusted in the thumb latch.
(See Fig 2.)
4. After a 10 hour “Break-In” period go through
steps 1 thru 3.
5. Proper adjustments must be maintained to
insure safe, trouble free, long life operation
of the mower. After completing the foregoing
instructions and recommended procedures
you are ready to put the mower into
operation.
CAUTION:
Excessive belt tension may cause damage!!
