D Return-to-Neutral djustment To determine if it is necessary to adjust the neutral return, perform the following steps. 1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake and turn off the engine. 2. Move the ground speed control levers into the operating position, pull levers rearward and release. 3. Move the ground speed control levers out towards the neutral position. If the levers do not align with the notches in the neutral lock plate, it is necessary to adjust the neutral return rod. To djust: 1. Lock the ground speed control lever in the neutral position. 2. Measure the length of the neutral return spring (C, Figure 28) it should be set at 3.25 (8,23cm). If the spring does not measure 3.25 (8,23cm) loosen the front set collar (D) and the rear set collar (), then move the front set collar forward or back on the neutral return rod () until the spring length equals 3.25 (8,23cm). Retighten the front set collar. 3. Make sure that the neutral return bushing (E) is seated correctly in the spring stop plate (F). 4. Position the rear set collar so that it sets tightly against neutral return bushing and tighten. 5. Pull the ground speed control lever rearward and release to check position again. djust as necessary to align the ground speed control levers with the notches in the neutral lock plate. It is important to note that after every adjustment of the neutral return rod, the lever must be pulled rearward and released to properly check the neutral position. 3.25 (8.23cm) E Parking rake djustment 1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake, stop the engine and remove the ignition key. 2. Raise the seat plate. 3. Locate the brake spring (, Figure 29). 4.

Rear Suspension djustment The shock assembly can be adjusted to allow the operator to customize the ride according to operator s weight and/or operating conditions. You have the option of adjusting the spring pre-load. Items to consider before adjusting the suspension. Less spring pre-load should be used with light weight operators, which will provide a softer, more cushioned ride. More spring pre-load should be used with heavy weight operators, or when a rear-mount grass bagger system is installed, which will provide a stiffer, more rigid ride. To adjust the spring pre-load: 1. Park machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage the PTO, stop the engine and engage the parking brake. 2. Raise the rear of the machine and secure with jackstands. Chock the front wheels to prevent the machine from rolling. 3. Remove the rear drive tires. 4. See Figure 30. Using the supplied spanner wrench (p/n 5022853), insert the tip of the wrench into the notch in the pre-load adjuster. While holding the wrench in place with one hand, turn COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to increase the pre-load, turn CLOCKWISE to decrease the pre-load. Make sure both shocks are set to the same amount of pre-load. 5. Reinstall the rear drive tires. Torque the lug bolts to 85-95 ft/lbs. (115-129 Nm). Remove the jackstands from under the machine. SPNNER WRENCH Figure 30. Rear Suspension djustments WRNING Spring loaded components can kick back causing injury. Use two hands when adjusting the shock assemblies. This will prevent the wrench from slipping while pressure is being applied. NOTE: Spanner wrench is located under the seat on the right-hand side of the machine. NOTE: It is recommended that the rear suspension be adjusted stiffer due to the added weight of the collection system.
