Section 5
A. Stop the machine and place the steering control
levers in the neutral position. Loosen the lock nuts
securing the ball joints at each end of the RH steering
control rod. Rotate the control rod to lengthen the rod
and tighten the lock nuts. This will cause the control
rod to stroke the RH pump less, slowing down the RH
wheel. The same adjustment is used for the RH side
as shown in Figure 5-2.
- NOTE -
If after making the adjustment as outlined in step
2A, the machine creeps forward or backward, the
neutral adjustment must be made as described
on page 23-24.
5.3 THROTTLE CONTROL AND CHOKE
ADJUSTMENTS
These adjustments must be performed by your Scag dealer
to ensure proper and efficient running of the engine. Should
either need adjustment, contact your authorized Scag
service center.
5.4 BELT ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING
Before removing any guards, shut the engine off
and remove the ignition key. Wait for all moving
parts to come to a complete stop before beginning
work.
All drive belts are spring loaded and self-tensioning. The
belts should be checked periodically for proper alignment
and wear.
WARNING
If the pump drive belt fails, steering control will be
lost which could result in serious injury or death.
Replace the pump drive belt as needed or every
400 hours / 2 years, whichever occurs first.
5.5 BELT ALIGNMENT
Belt alignment is important for proper performance of
your Scag machine. If you experience frequent belt wear
or breakage, see your authorized Scag service center for
belt adjustment.
5.6 OPERATOR CUSHION REMOVAL
The operator cushion can be easily removed to gain access
to the machine for maintenance.

work.
To remove the operator cushion:
1. Loosen the two (2) wing nuts securing the operator
cushion to the machine. See Figure 5-3.
