• If the gap is less than 0.010 inch, then
reinstall the shim and reference the
Troubleshooting section.
• If the gap is sufficient, proceed to the
safety check in step F.
F. Perform the following safety check:
a. Sit on the seat and start the engine.
b. Make sure the blades Do Not engage with
the PTO switch “off ” and the clutch
disengaged.
If the clutch does not disengage,
reinstall the shim and reference the
Troubleshooting section.
c. Engage and disengage the PTO switch
ten consecutive times to ensure the clutch
is functioning properly. If the clutch
does not engage properly, reference the
Troubleshooting section.
Motion Control Neutral
Adjustment
Check to see if an adjustment is required:
1. With the engine off, turn the ignition switch to
the “ON” position.
2. Locate the LCD indicator in the message display.

1. Neutral LCD indicator
3. With the motion control levers in the neutral
position (see Figure 4) (with no force on the lever
either forward or back), the neutral LCD indicator
should appear.
4. If the indicator illuminates, move the RH lever
first forward, then backward, noting the position
of the control lever when the indicator disappears.
The amount of movement, both forward and
back, should be approximately the same; if not,
go to step 6.
5. If the indicator does not illuminate, move both
motion control levers forward and then backward.
Continue to watch the message display and note
the position of the controls when it appears.
6. Loosen the lock nuts on the RH motion control
linkage (as viewed from the rear of the machine
— see Figure 37). With the right motion control
in the PTO disengage position, hold the LH
motion control in the position determined in step
4 or 5. Rotate the adjustment rod until the LCD
indicator comes on.
