the handles are in neutral position, adjustments are
necessary.
CAUTION: Be sure the engine is OFF before you
open the hydro access panel.
1. Remove the bolts to
access hydro panel.
2. Using an 8 mm
wrench, reach through
the bottom of the hydro
panel to the return-to-
neutral set pin bolts.
Loosen bolts on the
side that needs
adjusting.
3. Be sure the brake is in the OFF position. In a safe
operator position, start the engine.
4. With the engine running, slowly move the handle
on the side needing adjustment until that side
comes to a complete stop. If the mower creeps
forward, pull handle in reverse, If the mower
creeps backward, pull the handle forward.
5. When the mower stops moving completely the
hydro is in the neutral position.
6. Turn off the engine.
7. Slowly tighten the bolts without moving the plate.
8. With the bolts tightened, move to a safe operator
position and start the engine.

complete stop before putting your hands in the
access panel.

Operating Instructions
Disengaging Hydrostatic Drive Units
Before physically moving the mower when the engine is
NOT running, the hydrostatic drive units need to be
disengaged into free-wheel mode.
To disengage these hydro units:
1. Remove the hydro tool stored under the hydro unit.
2. Use the hook on the hydro tool to pull the hydro release
pin back and out. Repeat on
the other side. It may be
necessary to bump the
hydro carrier forward for
easier free-wheeling.
CAUTION! Never bump, hit or
push the actual hydros.
To return to operation mode:
1. Slide the hydro tool through
the hydro tensioner. Pull
until the pin sets. Repeat on
the other side. If the pin
partially sets, tap the pin.
2. Replace the hydro tool to
storage under the hydro unit.
