Forward Speed Control Friction Lock
The FSC friction lock is designed to hold the se-
lected forward travel speed when the steering le-
vers are moved and yet the friction is not too heavy
to make moving the FSC control difficult (too much
friction). The procedure for checking the FSC fric-
tion lock is as follows:
1. With the engine off, place the FSC in the full
FORWARD position and pull both steering le-
vers back; the FSC lever should not move. If
the FSC lever moves back when the steering
levers are pulled back, the friction needs to be
increased.
2. With the steering levers held back, move the
FSC lever back from the FORWARD position.
With a proper amount of friction adjusted, the
FSC lever should move back with a slight
amount of resistance (friction). If the FSC lever
movement is “stiff”, the friction needs to be
decreased.
If the FSC friction lock needs to be adjusted, refer to
ADJUSTMENTS for Step 7 - Forward Speed Con-
trol Friction Adjustment in this section.
REPLACING/REPAIRING
DANGER
To prevent accidental starting of the en-
gine when replacing parts or repairing the
machine, remove the key from the ignition
switch and disconnect the spark plug
wires.
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS use genuine factory re-
placement parts. Substitute parts CAN result in
product malfunction and possible injury to the op-
erator and/or others.
Drive Belts
There are three (3) individual belts on the ma-
chine:
• Engine/PTO Belt (Matched Set of 2)
• Ground Drive Belt
The belts may be removed and replaced using the
procedures described on the following pages.
