b) Adjust Neutral Control Linkages
1. Raise the rear of the machine up onto jack stands high enough to
raise the drive wheels off of the ground.
2. Start the engine and move the throttle ahead to the full throttle
position. Place the neutral lock latches in the drive position as shown
in Figure 8 and move the speed control lever to the “mid-speed”
position.
Note: The OPC levers must be held down whenever the speed control
lever is out of the neutral position or the engine will kill.
3. Squeeze the respective drive lever until an increased resistance is
felt, this is where neutral should be. Make sure you have not reached
the end of the neutral lock latch slot. If you have, shorten the drive
lever linkage. If the wheel turns while holding the drive lever in
neutral, the neutral control linkages need to be adjusted. If wheels
stop then go to step 7.

HYDRO DRIVE LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT
4. Loosen the nut against the neutral control linkage yoke as shown in
Figure 14.
5. Adjust the neutral control linkage until the respective drive wheel
stops when the lever is pulled against the neutral spring (neutral
position). Turn the adjusting bolt approximately 1/4 turn clockwise if
the wheel is turning in reverse or turn the bolt approximately 1/4 turn
counter-clockwise if the wheel is turning forward. Release the drive
lever to the forward drive position and squeeze back into the neutral
position. Check to see if the wheel stops. If not, repeat the above
adjustment procedure.
6. Make this adjustment on both sides.
7. After adjustments are made and the wheels stop when the drive
levers are in the neutral position, tighten the nuts against the yokes.
c) Adjust Hydro Control Linkages:
1. Place the speed control lever in the “neutral” position. This adjustment
is again made with rear of machine on jack stands and engine
running at full throttle. OPC levers will have to be held down whenever
speed control lever is moved out of the neutral position.
