10Motion Control Linkage AdjustmentThis adjustment must be made with the rearwheels rotating. Raise the rear of the machineand block it up so the wheels are free to rotate.CAUTION: Keep hands, feet and clothingaway from rotating tires.Tilt seat forward and remove the seat rod so theseat may rotate forward onto the frame.Place a 2x4 board between the foot plate andthe center of the seat to engage the seat safetyswitch.Loosen the nuts directly behind each ball jointon both rods that connect the pump arm to themotion control assemblies. FIG - 9Start the engine. The park brake must be en-gaged and the motion control levers in theneutral slots to start the engine. Run the engineapproximately half throttleRelease park brake to allow the wheels torotate.SETUP AND ADJUSTMENTSTurn HereTo AdjustLoosen HereLoosen Here(Lt. Hand Thds.)MotionControlLeverPark Brake AdjustmentWhen park brake is in the engaged position thedistance between the trunion and the bolt headat the rear of the assembly should measure 1/8”to 1/4” and the spring should measure 1.25”. Toadjust the gap between the trunion and the bolthead loosen the nut against the yoke then turnthe bolt head the proper direction to achive theproper gap. To adjust the length of the springturn the nut against the spring the proper direc-tion to lengthen or shorten the spring. Thisadjustment is the same for both sides. FIG - 8• If brake lever trys to catch as you engage thebrake the spring needs to be tightened. Whenyou change the spring length you also have tomaintain the 1/8” to 1/4” gap between the bolthead and the trunion.NOTE: Do not force the brake lever into the onposition if it is catching this will cause damageto the brake assembly.• If brake squeaks while the machine is in use.The spring may be to tight or the gap betweenthe bolt head and the trunion may be to large.Loosen here1/4” GapSpringFIG - 8FIG - 9Begin with either side and put the motion controllever into the neutral position. Adjust the motioncontrol linkage by rotating the double nuts in theproper direction until the wheel stops rotating.FIG - 9 Move the motion control lever forwardthen into the neutral position and place it into theneutral slot. The wheel must be stopped com-pletely at this point. Now do the same in reverseand release the lever. The lever should return toneutral on its own. If not see reverse springdetent adjustment.
