the neutral-locked position, and set the parking brake.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving
parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
3. Loosen the bolts and flange nuts installed in the levers
(Figure 79).
4. Align the levers front to rear position by bring the
levers together to the neutral position and slide them

to Adjusting the Motion-Control Neutral-Lock Pivot
(page 54). Repeat to adjust the control levers.
Adjusting the Motion-Control
Linkage
Located on either side of the fuel tank, below the seat are
the pump control linkages. Rotating the pump linkage with a
1/2 inch wrench allows fine-tuning adjustments so that the
machine does not move in neutral. Any adjustments should
be made for neutral positioning only.
WARNING
The engine must be running and the drive wheels
must be turning so that the motion-control
adjustment can be performed. Contact with moving
parts or hot surfaces may cause personal injury.
Keep fingers, hands, and clothing clear of rotating
components and hot surfaces.
1. Prior to starting the engine, push the deck-lift pedal
and remove the height-of-cut pin. Lower the deck to
the ground.
2. Raise the rear of machine up and support it with jack
stands (or equivalent support) just high enough to
allow the drive wheels to turn freely.
3. Remove the electrical connection from the seat safety
switch, located under the bottom cushion of the seat.
Note: The switch is a part of the seat assembly.
4. Temporarily install a jumper wire across the terminals
in the connector of the main wiring harness.
5. Start the engine.
