setup and adjustments
Motion Control Linkage Adjustment
Adjustment must be made with the rear wheels rotating. Raise the rear of the machine and block it up so the wheels are free to rotate.
1.Tilt seat forward and remove the seat rod so the seat rotates forward onto the frame.
2.Place a 2x4 board between the foot plate and the center of the seat to engage the seat safety switch.
3.Loosen the nuts directly behind each ball joint on both rods that connect the pump arm to the motion control assemblies.
4.Start the engine. The park brake must be engaged and the motion control levers in the neutral slots to start the engine. Run the engine approximately half throttle.
5.Release park brake to allow the wheels to rotate.
6.Begin with either side and put the motion control lever into the neutral position.
7.Adjust the motion control linkage by rotating the double nuts in the proper direction until the wheel stops rotating.
8.Move the motion control lever forward and into the neutral position and into the neutral slot. The wheel must be stopped completely at this point.
9.Do the same in reverse and release the lever. The lever should return to neutral on its own.
10.Run engine full throttle to make sure wheels do not rotate. Readjust if any rotation occurs.
11.Repeat the whole process for the opposite side and tighten the nuts against the ball joints.
12.Turn machine off.
13.Reinstall the seat rod and check the wiring harness to the seat safety switch for a good connection and return the seat to the normal position.
