FSC Neutral-Park Switch
1. Place the FSC in NEUTRAL-PARK position.
2. Adjust switch to the point where the starter en-
gages when the ignition switch is turned to the
start position.
3. Adjust switch position forward an additional 1/2
to 1 turn of the panel nuts.
NOTE: If the switch cannot be adjusted forward
enough to achieve proper function, it may be nec-
essary to bend the switch mounting bracket
slightly.
PTO Switch(es)
With the PTO engaged, adjust two (2) switches [three
(3) if GHS equipped] to the point of activation plus 1
or two 2 turns of the panel nuts. Normally 1/8 to 3/16
in. (3 mm to 5 mm) of plunger travel will activate these
switches. Make sure the switches are adjusted so the
actuator plate is not bottoming out the plunger and
striking the switch body.
Steering Levers
An adjustment range of approximately 3 inches is
available on the steering levers - the levers can be ad-
justed forward or aft depending on the arm length of
the operator. The levers can be adjusted by loosen-
ing the locknut at the pivot point and the locknut hold-
ing the lever in position in the adjustment slide.
Adjust levers into most comfortable position and
tighten both locknuts.

Blade Brake
The mower blade drive (and blower on GHS models)
is equipped with a brake system to stop blades within
five (5) seconds after disengaging the clutch. A belt
scrubber brake acting on the PTO drive belt provides
braking action. The brake action is adjusted by
springing or bending the scrubber mount on GHS
models and bending the scrubber on SD models.
If the brake system malfunctions - blades do not stop
within five (5) seconds - adjust or repair the brake as
follows:
