levers and turn the stop screw in or out until neutral is
found.
9. Then, with the adjustable arms of the parking brake
set so the clamping bolt is in the middle of the slot,
adjust the ball joint on or off the control link rod so
that their mounting bolts fit into the slot at the end of
the adjustable interlock.
10.Reinstall the front ball joint(s).
NOTE: When properly adjusted, the parking brake
interlock will move upward when the parking brake is set
and hold the steering control levers in neutral. The
parking brake starting interlock switch will not be
depressed unless the steering control levers are in
neutral. The interlock holds the levers in neutral until the
parking brake is released.
11. Move the control levers, from forward to reverse
several times to make sure it is adjusted to neutral.
Readjust if necessary.
12. Stop the engine.
Adjusting Control Levers
To be done after neutral has been set. (Figure 14)
1. If desired the steering control levers can be set to
match (be in line) when in neutral.
2. Remove front ball joint from bottom of steering
control lever on side which is going to be adjusted.
Screw ball joint on or off link rod to hydrostat so that
control levers align. Replace rod end on lower part of
steering control lever.
3. If needed adjust parking brake interlock so that
interlock is able to move up when both steering
control levers are in neutral. To do this loosen the
clamping bolt on the adjustable member of the
interlock and slide it in either direction until the
interlock moves up and latches the ball joint
mounting bolts.
Adjusting the Parking Brake
1. The Parking Brake may be adjusted through the use
of the jam nuts on the brake rod which push against
the compression spring which pushes on the caliper
arm.
2. Turn the nuts further on the rod (clockwise) to tighten
the brake and further off the rod (counter clockwise)
to loosen the brake.
3. Ensure when the brake is applied, the caliper arm
does not contact the return nuts on the rod in front of
the caliper arm. If they do, back them off slightly.
4. When installing new pads in the calipers, they must
be burnished by driving for a short distance (about
200 feet) with the brake on. To do this, bring the
parking brake lever part-way up while driving
normally (in a straight line). This quickly breaks-in the
pads for maximum effectiveness.
Adjusting the unit to Track Straight
Check and adjust tire pressure. Increase pressure on
side unit tracks to. DO NOT exceed maximum
recommended tire pressure (refer to Specifications).
If tire pressure adjustment does not solve tracking
problem, the limiter bolts at base of handles can be
adjusted. Front bolts are for forward and rear bolts are for
reverse. Lengthen bolts (move closer to lever) on side
which is too fast.
