Wheel-Steer Adjustments
Neutral
1. Make sure that the steering wheel is spring-
centered in the straight-forward position. If
spring pulls steering wheel off-center, loosen
the nut securing the anchor bolt (G) and move
bolt in slot until wheel is pointing straight
ahead. Retighten nut and recheck steering
wheel alignment.
2. Check the alignment of the rear edges of bars
(I, figure 1-1) and transmission control shafts
(C and D). Rear edges should be aligned as
shown in figure 1-1. To adjust linkage, first loosen
jamnuts (A), remove the nut securing the ball
joint (H), and rotate ball joint until alignment is
correct. Retighten all hardware.
3. Block frame so that wheels are off the ground.
Increase the engine RPM level and move foot
pedal forward and reverse several times. Spring
tension should return foot pedal to neutral.
4. If wheels rotate in neutral, loosen nuts
(B, figure 1-1) on each side of the hydro pump
linkage (F). Turn either front or rear nut until
wheel stops rotating.
5. Tighten nuts, making sure control rods do not
change position. This may take several times to
position rods at exact neutral.
6. Remove frame blocking and test operate.
Rider should not move with foot pedal in
neutral position.
Transmission Speed Variation
If rider pulls to one side with the steering wheel in a
straight forward position, the hydro pump linkage
can be adjusted to correct for unequal pump output.
This adjustment limits the output of a faster hydro
pump at less than maximum forward speed. Refer to
“Forward Travel Stop Adjustment” for maximum
forward speed adjustment.
To adjust hydro pump linkage (A, figure 1-2), loosen
retaining hardware and move linkage upward in slot
(B) to reduce hydro pump output. Retighten flange
locknut (C) after adjustment is complete.
