are locked in NEUTRAL,then it may be necessaryto adjust
the linkage rod.
NOTE.Perform this adjustment on a hard, levelsurface such
as a concrete floor
1. Disengagethe PTO,engagethe parking brakeand turn
off the engine.
2. There arethree nuts (B, Figure35) on the linkage rod
(A). The first two are to be used together to turn the rod
andthe third (towards the front of the machine) is used
to lock the rod in place. Loosen the jam nut that locks
againstthe ball joint and turn the linkage rod to adjust.
If the machine creepsforward, turn the rod CLOCKWISE
(while standing at the rear of the machine, facing
forward), if the machinecreeps backward,turn the rod
COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.
3. Lock the jam nut (B) against the ball joint when neutral
is achieved.
NOTE. This adjustment should not be performed while the
machine is running. It may take severalattempts to achieved
neutral, depending upon how much the machine creeps.
