INTRODUCTIONASSEMBLY
5. Swing Controls
Manual
If this tractor will be using the manual swing controls, assemble
the control cable for the release pin.
a. Remove the drive assembly cover. Compress the spring
against the shaft at the end of the cable. This will create a
gap between the spring and the end of the outer cover.
b. Insert the shaft into the guide bushing in the drive assembly.
c. Move the cable into the slot in the bracket. The gap created
by compressing the spring will allow the inner cable to move
through the slot. Releasing the spring.
d. Mount the bracket for the manual swing controls on the front
lift assist mount. Use two bolts with washers and nuts.
e. Route the control lever for the swing control through the
round hole on the bracket. Mount the hand lever on the
handlebar.
f. The swing control lever will go through the manual swing
bracket. The end at the broom head will have a swivel
assembly attached. Position the swivel assembly in the
bracket on the broom head. Insert the pin to secure it in
place.
