Adjusting the Shift Lever
If you are unable to shift into Reverse or 4th gear, the Shift Lever and Tie Rod need to be adjusted.
WHEN PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE, YOU MUST FIRST SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, SET THE
PARKING BRAKE, WAIT FIVE (5) MINUTES TO ALLOW PARTS TO COOL AND DISCONNECT THE SPARK
PLUG WIRE, KEEPING IT AWAY FROM THE SPARK PLUG.
Tools Needed:
•
1/2" Box Wrench or Socket
•
1/2" Box or Open-end Wrench
•
9/16" Box or Open-end Wrench
1. Move the Shift Lever into the Reverse position (Figure 29).
2. Loosen and remove the Tie Rod Nut and Bolt from the
Transaxle Arm with 1/2" wrenches (Figure 30). Remove the
Tie Rod from the Transaxle Arm.
3. Fully extend the Transaxle Arm toward the front of the
machine. This will put the Transmission into Reverse gear
(Figure 31).
4. Loosen the Lock Nut on the Shift Tie Rod end with a 9/16"
Open-end Wrench (Figure 31) and turn the Tie Rod end,
clockwise to shorten the Tie Rod, and counterclockwise to
lengthen it.
5. Adjust the Tie Rod length until the Shift Indicator points to
Reverse when you reinstall the Tie Rod end onto the
Transaxle Arm.
6. When the adjustment is complete, re-tighten the Lock Nut
against the Ball end.
7. Place the Tie Rod back on the Transaxle Arm, insert the
Bolt, and re-tighten the Nut.
This should now enable you to use the full range of gears.
