5. Shut off the machine. Loosen the jam nuts on each end of the transaxle control rod as shown in FIG. 62.
6. Start the engine. Move the control lever to just engage the brake (neutral) slot and hold it in that position (Do not
engage the control lever far enough to engage the brakes in the brake slot).
WARNING: This operation is extremely dangerous. Pay close attention when adjusting the
transaxle control rod so you do not get your fingers, tools, or anything else close to the ZT 2800
transaxle’s cooling fans.
7. While holding the control lever position discussed in step 6, carefully adjust the transaxle control rod until the rear
wheel starts turning forward. Now turn the transaxle control rod in the opposite direction until the moment when the
wheel just stops turning forward. Turn the control rod another 1/2 turn in this direction. Hold the transaxle control
rod in this position and actuate the parking brake with steering lever. The ZT 2800 transaxle should not whine
(FIG. 64).
