1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake and turn off
the engine.
2. There are two nuts (B) on the linkage rod. Loosen the nuts
from the ball joints (C) and turn the linkage rod to adjust.
• If the machine creeps forward, turn the rod clockwise
(while standing at the rear of the machine, facing
forward);
• If the machine creeps backward, turn the rod
counter-clockwise (while standing at the rear of the
machine, facing forward).
3. Lock the jam nut against the ball joints when neutral is
achieved.
NOTE: This adjustment should not be performed while the
machine is running. It may take several attempts to achieve
neutral, depending on how much the machine creeps.
Return-to-Neutral Adjustment
Prior to performing this procedure the
Neutral Adjustment
procedure must be completed.
WARNING
To avoid serious injury, perform adjustments only with the
engine stopped, ignition key removed, and zero-turn rider
parked on level ground.
1. Lock the ground speed control lever in the neutral position.
2. Loosen the set collar (A, Figure 42) on the neutral return
rod (B).

3. Position the set collar along the neutral return rod until it
contacts and very lightly compresses the neutral return
spring (C). Tighten the set collar.
4. Move the ground speed control levers into the operating
position, pull rearward, and release.
5. Move the ground speed control levers out towards the
neutral position.
• if the ground speed control lever aligns with the notch
in the neutral lock plate, adjustment is complete.
• if the ground speed control lever stops it's return motion
past the notch (while standing at the rear of the
machine), reposition the set collar so the neutral return
spring is less compressed.
• if the ground speed control lever stops it's return motion
before the notch (while standing at the rear of the
machine), re-position the set collar so that the neutral
return spring is more compressed.
6. Repeat the process as necessary until the ground speed
control lever aligns with the notch in the neutral lock plate.
NOTE: 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 return-to-neutral position.
Parking Brake Adjustment
The parking brake mechanism consists of two parking brake
cables (A, Figure 43) that connect the parking brake lever shaft
to the parking brake control arm on the transmissions. There is
a parking brake spring on each parking brake cable located
below the engine deck by the transmission. The position of the
parking brake cable in the rear suspension cradle is factory
preset and should not be changed for parking brake adjustment
procedures. The adjustment is achieved by changing the
compressed spring length of the parking brake springs.

1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake, stop the
engine, and chock the tires.
2. Locate the parking brake springs (B) by the transmissions.
