Toro Workman 1100 - Checking and Adjusting Neutral; Servicing the Engine Oil

Checking and Adjusting
Neutral
When performing routine maintenance and/or engine
diagnostics, the transaxle must be shifted into neutral
(Fig. 25). The vehicle has a neutral position on the shift
lever, which controls the neutral in the transaxle. The
following steps should be taken to make sure that the
neutral shift lever operates the transaxle neutral correctly:
1. Set the shift lever into the Neutral position.
2. Ensure that the neutral bracket is in the neutral position
(level) by turning the drive clutch (Fig. 25). The vehicle
should not roll back and forth. If it does, manually
move the neutral bracket to the neutral position.

3. Tighten one of the locknuts (Fig. 25) just enough to take
the slack out of the shift cable.
Note: You must hold the threaded shaft below the bracket
to tighten the locknut on top.
4. Tighten the other locknut just enough to take the slack
out of the other shift cable.
5. Pull up on each shift cable an ensure that there is no gap
between the nut/washer and the neutral bracket
(Fig. 26). If there is a gap, tighten the nut.

often in special operating conditions; refer to Maintaining
the Vehicle under Special Operating Conditions, page 24.
Note: Change the oil more frequently when operating
conditions are extremely dusty or sandy.
