Friction Pad
The amount of effort required to move control levers
can be adjusted by spring tension on friction pads
(A, figure 1-7). Reducing spring tension will make
the rider more responsive to control lever move-
ment. Increasing spring tension will decrease
responsiveness and prevent rider movement from
becoming jerky, particularly near neutral range.
To adjust spring tension, turn adjusting nut (B) in to
increase tension or turn out to decrease tension.
Transmission Speed Variation
If one transmission is slower than the other with the
same control lever travel, the bracket (A, figure 1-8)
holding the transmission link (B) and friction bar (C)
can be adjusted. The bracket is slotted and is
adjusted by loosening the capscrews (D) and moving
the bracket. Raising the bracket will increase the
transmission speed. This adjustment must be made
by trial and error since the machine cannot be
operated while the adjustment is being made.
This adjustment will not affect lever position, neutral
adjustment, or spring-centered lever adjustment.
