Straight Ground Travel Adjustment
Forward Speed Control Friction Lock
The FSC friction lock is adjusted to hold the selected
forward speed when the steering levers are moved
and yet the friction is not too heavy to make moving
the control difficult (too much friction). The proce-
dure for checking and adjusting the FSC friction lock
is as follows:
Forward Speed Control Friction Lock
1. Place the FSC in the full FORWARD position and
pull both steering levers 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 de-
creased.
3. The FSC friction is increased or decreased by
tightening or loosening the friction adjust-
ment nut. Loosen or tighten the nut and check
the control function until conditions of both
steps 1 and 2 (above) are met.
Tilt-Up Deck Adjustable Stop
When the carrier frame hinge joint is properly adjust-
ed, the deck lock levers should move in and out of the
engaged and disengaged positions freely. All four
hitch pins used for height adjustment should sit flush
on the washers above the deck pin bushing. On a lev-
el surface, if any pin is sticking up (likely the front
pins), tighten the opposite side or loosen the same
side to lower the pin. Adjustments are made by loos-
ening the jam nut and tightening or loosening the set
screws on the Deck Mount Pivot Brackets. Retighten
the jam nut when the adjustment is complete.
