Transaxle Shift Linkage Adjustment 1. Remove steering tower cover. Raise and securely lock the front cutting unit in raised transport position.
Measure from end of shaft to edge of transaxle.
2. Move axle shift lever forward to transport (high speed) position. Measure shaft dimension from side of transaxle case to end of shaft (Fig. 7). Adjust upper linkage length at top eye rod if necessary to get proper dimension (Fig. 8).
Low position 1.2 - 1.3 in. (30 - 33 mm)
3. Move axle shift lever rearward to mow (low speed) position. Measure shaft dimension from side of transaxle case to end of shaft. Adjust linkage length at top eye rod if necessary to get proper dimension.
HIgh position 2.6 - 2.7 in. (66 - 69 mm)
4. Move axle shift lever forward to transport (high speed) position and verify that the dimension is correct.
Transaxle
5. Move axle shift lever rearward to mow (low speed) position. Start the engine and lower one cutting unit. Turn on reel speed control and cutting unit engagement switch. The cutting unit should engage. When axle shift lever is moved to N or transport position, the cutting unit should disengage. If the cutting unit does not disengage there is a problem in the axle hi-low switch circuit (see Chapter 5 - Electrical System).
