2-SPEED OPTION SETTING<br />

WARNING<br />

POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS INJURY<br />

Certain procedures require the vehicle engine<br />

to be operated and the vehicle to be raised off<br />

the ground. To prevent possible injury to the servicing<br />

technician and/or bystanders, insure the<br />

vehicle is properly secured.<br />

The 2-speed option mechanism on the transaxle<br />

is designed to increase the axle speed when<br />

the 2-speed control arm (168) is moved from<br />

its vertical position. Follow the procedure below<br />

to properly set the 2-speed option on the<br />

transaxle:<br />

Note: THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD ONLY<br />

HAVE TO BE DONE IF THE THE LOCK<br />

DOWN ARM (165) NEEDS REPLACED<br />

OR A NEW SIDE HOUSING HAS TO BE<br />

INSTALLED. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO<br />

EVER REMOVE THE LOCK DOWN ARM<br />

(165) FOR ANY OTHER REASON DURING<br />

THE DISASSEMBLY OF THIS UNIT.<br />

1. Confirm the transaxle is in the operating<br />

mode (bypass disengaged). Raise the<br />

vehicle’s drive tires off the ground to allow<br />

free rotation.<br />

Note: It may be necessary to remove the<br />

drive tire from the axle hub to access<br />

the linkage control.<br />

2. Remove the Original Equipment Manufacturer’s<br />

(OEM’s) control linkage at the 2-speed<br />

control arm (168). Position the 2-speed<br />

control arm (168) so it is in the normal speed<br />

(vertical) position. Refer to Figure 5.<br />

3. Start the engine and increase the throttle to<br />

full engine speed.<br />

4. Stroke the transaxle control arm (54) until<br />

183 rpm axle speed is obtained. Refer to<br />

Figure 6.<br />

5. Rotate the 2-speed control arm (168) and<br />

lock down arm (165) together until the<br />

axle speed reaches 265 rpm. Lock down<br />

the 2-speed lock down arm (165) with the<br />

2-speed control arm (168) against the<br />

stop.<br />

6. Stop the engine and reconnect any OEM<br />

linkage.<br />
