Assembly & Operating Instructions
To Adjust the PTA
™
Feature
WARNING: Before performing any maintenance procedures, the engine should be stopped
and the spark plug wire disconnected.
Tools Needed:
• 5/16" socket
It should be easy to engage the PTA
™
Feature.
If you find it hard to release the PTA
™
lever
and pivot the frame to the side, loosen the
axle nut one quarter turn or so (Figure 49).
Also be sure there is some play between the
bottom of the PTA lever and the PTA pin at
the rear of the machine frame.
Keeping the axle clean will also help the
PTA
™
feature work smoothly.
Lubricating the black axle slides (Figure 49)
with FLUID FILM
®
or comparable lubricant
will also help keep the PTA action smooth.
For Engine Maintenance, Please Refer to the Engine
Manufacturer's Owner's Manual.
