CAUTION
To prevent bodily injury and machine
damage, do not remove dampener (F) or fail
to replace the dampener if not functioning
properly.
NOTE: Dampener (F) will allow the unit to be
safely stopped in a very short distance. There
is no need to try and over-power the dampener
(see Figure 80).
Dampener (F) prevents accidental quick movement
of ground drive control lever causing ’jack rabbit’
starts or loss of control from stopping too quickly.
For steering or ground drive neutral adjustments,
contact your Freeman dealer.
