How to Change the Speed/Sensitivi
Adjustment
The controls are initially set with the Speed/
Sensitivity Adjustment in the faster, more
sensitive position. The adjustment can be
changed to the slower setting. This will increase
the ground speed approximately 25-30%. The
slower setting has a corresponding decrease
the sensitivity of the controls. In other words, a
given amount of movement of the control leve
will cause about a 25-30% change in the grou
speed making the controls more sensitive. After
stopping the engine, the adjustment is made
removing the control rods from the current holes
in the control levers and reinstalling them in the
alternate holes. The holes closest to the c

Ho
Adjustment
First ensure that the tire pressure is equal on bo
rear drive tires. Drive the mower on a level
parking lot with engine at full throttle. Check that
the mower drives in a straight line when both
hand controls are held to the full speed position.
If not, park the mower and stop the engine. The
adjustment is made by removing the control rod
from one or the other of the swivel ends at the
lower ends of the control rods and screwing the
swivel to either make the control rod longer
shorter. The turnbuckle may also b

In the “faster” Speed/Sensitivity setting neither

pulls the pump control lever (on the sides of the
pumps) against the pump stop. Therefore, to
reach the maximum capable speed, the rods
should be lengthened one turn at a time un

has been contacted. Then shorten the rod one
turn. You will feel the slight resistance. There is
no need to start the engine or even replace the
hair pin while checking this incrementally. Just
