Safety & Operating Instructions
To Adjust the Shift Lever
If you are unable to shift into reverse or 4th gear, the shift lever and tie rod need to be adjusted.
Tools Needed:
• 1/2" box or socket wrench
• 1/2" box or open-end wrench
• 9/16” box or open end wrench
!
WARNING: Always disconnect the
spark plug wire before servicing your
machine.
1. Move the shift lever into the reverse
position.
2. Loosen and remove the tie rod nut and
bolt from the transaxle arm with the
wrenches (Figure 27). 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 28).
4. Loosen the lock nut on the shift tie rod
end with the 9/16 open-end wrench
(Figure 28) and turn the tie rod end,
clockwise to shorten the tie rod, and
counterclockwise to lengthen it. Adjust
the tie rod length until the shift
indicator points to reverse when the tie
rod end is reinstalled onto the transaxle
arm. When the adjustment is complete,
re-tighten the lock nut. The lock nut
tightens against the ball end. Place the
tie rod back on the transaxle arm, insert
the bolt, and re-tighten the nut. This
should enable you to use the full range
of gears.
