Adjusting the Traction Drive
for Neutral
The machine must not creep when traction pedal
is released. If it does creep, an adjustment adjust it
as follows:
1. Park the machine on a level surface, stop the
engine, and lower the cutting units to the floor.
Press only the right brake pedal and engage the
parking brake.
2. Jack up the left side of the machine until the
front tire is off the shop floor. Support the
machine with jack stands to prevent it from
falling accidentally.
Note: On 4-wheel drive models, the left,
rear tire must also be off the shop floor or the
4-wheel drive, drive-shaft must be removed.
3. Under the right side of the machine, loosen
the locknut on the traction adjustment cam
(Figure 61).

1. Traction adjustment cam
The engine must be running so the final
adjustment of the traction adjustment
cam can be performed. This could cause
personal injury.
Keep hands, feet, face, and other body
parts away from the muffler, other hot
parts of the engine, and any rotating
parts.
4. Start the engine and rotate the cam hex in
either direction until the wheel ceases rotation.
5. Tighten the locknut to secure the adjustment.
6. Stop the engine and release the right brake.
Remove the jack stands and lower the machine
to the shop floor.
7. Test drive the machine to make sure it does
not creep.
Checking and Adjusting the
Traction Linkage
Due to normal wear in the control linkage and
hydrostatic transmission, an increased amount of
force may be required to return the transmission
to neutral. Periodically check the machine.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, lower the
cutting units to the floor, and stop the engine.
2. Connect the brake pedals together with the
locking pin, push both pedals down, and pull
the parking brake latch out.
