Maintenance Instructions ADJUSTMENTS752. Check operation of the FSC Neutral Switch byplacing the FSC lever in the full FORWARD position. While holding the ignition switch in theSTART position, slowly move the FSC leverback towards the NEUTRAL-PARK positionuntil the starter motor engages. Note the position of the FSC lever where it passes throughthe slot in the body. The FSC lever should bewithin 1/8 in. (3 mm) of the NEUTRAL-PARKposition. If this distance is greater than 1/8 in.(3 mm), the FSC Neutral Switch needs to beadjusted downward for quicker activation.Step 7 - Forward Speed Control Friction AdjustmentFSC FullForward Position Pull SteeringLevers Back toCheck FrictionLockFSC Friction Adjustment Test(Checking Friction Lock)1. Place the FSC lever in the full FORWARDposition, and pull both steering levers fully back;the FSC lever should not move. If the FSC levermoves back the friction needs to be in-creased.2. With the steering levers held back, move theFSC lever back from the FORWARD position.With a proper amount of friction adjusted, theFSC lever should move back with a slightamount of resistance (friction). If the FSC levermovement is “stiff”, the friction needs to bedecreased.3. The FSC friction is increased or decreased bytightening or loosening the friction adjust-ment nut. Loosen or tighten the nut and checkthe control function until the conditions of bothsteps 1 and 2 (above) are met.FSC FrictionAdjustment NutFSC Friction Adjustment Nut
