not making contact with the floor.
5. Make certain the neutral lock is in the locked (rear)
position, reconnect the spark plug wire and start the
engine. If either one or both wheels are rotating then
the pumps will need to be adjusted for neutral.
6. Shut the engine off and loosen the lock nuts on the
pump linkage rod on the side of the rotating wheel.
Fig. 5-3
7. Reconnect the spark plug wire and start the engine,
making sure to stay clear of the rotating wheel, and
adjust the pump linkage rod until the wheel does not
rotate. Tighten the lock nuts on the pump linkage rod.
NOTE: Make certain that the ball joints are straight
up and down and aligned with each other to prevent
possible binding.
8. With the pumps now locked in neutral, slide the
neutral adjust stop to the rear until it just touches the
torsion spring tang. Then tighten the two bolts to hold
the neutral adjust stop in place. Fig. 5-4
9. Repeat for other side if necessary.
10. Lower the unit.
11. Check the steering bar spring adjustment per the
Steering bar spring section.
Ground speed adjustment
The ground speed has a low and high range setting on
each of the pump arms (Fig. 5-5). There are two different
settings on each pump lever. The unit comes from the
factory in the top (low range) position. When in this position
the ground speed is set in the operator walk mode. Moving
the ball joints to the bottom hole will increase the ground
speed for use with a stand-up sulky. NOTE: Both linkage
rod ball joints must be in the same hole on each of the pump
levers.
Never place the rod ends in the rear pump lever holes.
Fig. 5-5
NOTE: Moving the rod ends to a different hole on the
pump arms may require neutral to be re-adjusted.
WARNING: The unit’s H-bar handle is very
responsive: Easy does it! For smooth operation,
rotate handle slowly, avoid sudden movement.
