Adjustments
3. Start the engine (operate rst at idle and then
normal operating speeds) and check for
movement of the drive wheels.
NOTE: If the engine will not start, check the
operation of the neutral safety switch.
CAUTION
NEVER attempt to disconnect any safety
devices or defeat the purpose of these
safety devices.

Neutral Function Adjustment
4. If drive wheels are moving, adjust the FSC
neutral stop by adjusting the FSC actuator
rod (see Neutral Function Adjustment pho-
to). If the drive wheels are moving backward,
loosen the jam nut and lengthen the FSC
actuator rod by turning the adjustment nut
counterclockwise (CCW). If the drive wheels
are moving forward, use the opposite clock-
wise (CW) adjustment.
5. At this point it may not be possible to adjust
both wheels stationary since the di󰀨erential
adjust has not been made. (This is covered
by the Straight Ground Travel Adjustment
- Step 5 on this page.) In this case, the neu-
tral adjustment should be made for one wheel
stationary and the other moving forward
slightly.
6. Check the neutral safety switch for closure
and function with the FSC in neutral (the en-
gine will not start when the switch is open).
Straight Ground Travel Adjustment - Step 5
1. Sit in the seat, start the engine (operate at
normal speed), and with the FSC in the NEU-
TRAL-PARK position, check for forward
movement of either drive wheel (if either
wheel moves backward, refer back to Neutral
Function Adjustment - Step 4 on page 86
and readjust). Tighten the steering lever
adjustment nut on the side of the mower
with the wheel moving forward until wheel
movement stops.
2. Check for straight ground track on a level
surface (with hands o󰀨 the steering levers).
Set the FSC at several di󰀨erent speeds and
observe if the mower moves in a straight line
(use cement joint or other line on the ground
for reference).
3. If travel is not straight, tighten the adjust-
ment nut that is on the same side of the
mower as the wheel that is moving too fast,
e.g., the mower tracks to the right, indicating
the LH wheel is moving too fast, tighten the LH
adjustment nut.
