7.11. The socket head cap screws that secure the
neutral return assemblies to the EZTs act as a 
travel stop at the EZT end of the linkage. The lap 
bar pivot brackets should contact the stop 
screws before the socket head cap screw con-
tacts the end of the slot on the neutral bracket.  
See Figure 7.11.
7.12. If the lap bars are not aligned with each-other,
they may be adjusted using the slotted mounting 
where they connect to the lap bar pivot brackets. 
See Figure 7.12.
7.13. After final adjustment, test the operation of the
reverse safety switches. They should turn the 
PTO clutch off whenever both lap bars are in the 
reverse position.
NOTE: With one lap bar in the reverse position, 
and the PTO turned on, the PTO clutch should 
turn off as soon as the second lap bar crosses 
the threshold from neutral into reverse. Repeat 
test for each side.
NOTE: When at least one lap bar is in the neu-
tral or forward position, the PTO clutch will oper-
ate. There is not a relay to re-set by cycling the 
PTO switch off and on again, as is the case with 
Cub Cadet front engine residential equipment.
7.14. If the reverse safety switch adjustment is not
correct, loosen the reverse safety switch bracket 
using a 3/8” wrench. Pivot the bracket and 
switch to a position that results in correct opera-
tion, then tighten the bracket. See Figure 7.14.
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove either con-
trol console to reach the reverse safety switches, 
but it may be necessary to temporarily discon-
nect the blue wires in order to reach the mount-
ing screws for the brackets.
