NEUTRAL LOCK
LEVER CLEARANCE
NOTE: Neutral lock/park brake latch clearance should be checked when
there is a slight upward force placed on the drive levers to remove any
"slack" in the linkage.
After clevis pin has been inserted, install hairpin into hole on the clevis pin
between the neutral lock/park brake latch and drive lever (See Figure 12).
Repeat procedure on opposite side of unit.

Drive Lever Hardware Location
3.8.6 Adjust brakes by adjusting wingnut on the upper end of each brake rod. Position
the wingnut so the brakes will engage when the drive levers are squeezed enough
to place the neutral lock/park brake latches into the “park brake” position.
NOTE: The neutral lock/park brake latches must be able to be moved into
the park brake position, if not, the brake linkages must be adjusted
again.
3.8.7 Squeeze the drive levers and move both neutral lock/park brake latches to the rear
into the neutral lock position. Mower should move forward and backward freely, if
not, readjust the brakes. Squeeze the drive levers and move the neutral lock/park
brakelatches to the front into the park brake position. Mower should not move
forward and backward freely, if it does, readjust the brakes.
