3. Position the set collar along the neutral return rod until it
contacts and very lightly compresses the neutral return
spring (C).
4. Move the ground speed control levers into the operating
position, pull rearward, and release.
5. Move the ground speed control levers out towards the
NEUTRAL LOCKOUT position.
• if the ground speed control lever aligns with the notch
in the neutral lock plate, adjustment is complete;
• if the ground speed control lever stops it's return
motion past the notch (while standing at the rear of
the unit), position the set collar so the neutral return
spring is less compressed.
• if the ground speed control lever stops it's return
motion before the notch (while standing at the rear
of the unit), position the set collar so that the neutral
return spring is more compressed.
6. Repeat the process as necessary until the ground speed
control lever aligns with the notch in the neutral lock plate.
Note: It is important to note that after every adjustment of
the neutral return rod, the lever must be pulled rearward and
released to properly check the return-to-neutral position.
Neutral Lockout Adjustment
Prior to adjusting the neutral lockout, the neutral and return-
to-neutral must be properly adjusted.
1. Park the unit on a flat, level surface such as a concrete
floor. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake, turn
the ignition switch to OFF, and remove the ignition key.
2. Chock the wheels of the unit to prevent movement.
3. Raise the seat to gain access to the neutral lockout
components.
4. Loosen the jam nuts (A, Figure 46) on the neutral lockout
bolts (B).

5. Engage the parking brake. The neutral lockout bolts will
enter the notches of the neutral lockout plates (C).
6. Position the neutral lockout bolts to the center of the
notches of the neutral lockout plates.
7. Re-tighten the jam nuts.
Parking Brake Adjustment
The parking brake mechanism consists of a two parking
brake cables, with a spring on both ends, that routes from
the transmission to the parking brake lever shaft. The
position of the parking brake cables and the compressed
length of the lower springs located by the transmissions
are factory preset and should not be changed for parking
brake adjustment procedures. The adjustment is achieved by
changing the compressed spring length of the upper parking
brake springs.
1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake, stop the
engine, and chock the tires.
2. Raise the seat plate.
3. Locate the parking brake springs (A, Figure47).
