Adjusting The Motion-Control Linkage - Toro 74919TE Operator's Manual

5. If the ends of the levers hit against each other, refer
to Adjusting the Motion-Control Neutral-Lock Pivot
(page 56).
Adjusting the Motion-Control
Linkage
The pump-control linkages are located on either side of the
fuel tank, below the seat. Rotate the pump linkage with a 1/2
inch wrench for fine-tuning adjustments so that the machine
does not move in neutral. Make any adjustments for neutral
positioning only.
WARNING
The engine must be running and the drive wheels
must be turning, so the motion-control adjustment
can be performed. Contact with moving parts or
hot surfaces may cause personal injury.
Keep your fingers, hands, and clothing clear of
rotating components and hot surfaces.
1. Prior to starting the engine, push the deck-lift pedal,
remove the height-of-cut pin, and lower the deck to
the ground.
2. Raise the rear of machine and support it with jack
stands (or equivalent support) just high enough to
allow the drive wheels to turn freely.
3. Remove the electrical connection from the seat safety
switch, located under the bottom cushion of the seat.
Note: The switch is a part of the seat assembly.
4. Temporarily install a jumper wire across the terminals
in the connector of the main wiring harness.
5. Start the engine.

Note: Engage the parking brake and move the
motion-control levers out before starting the engine.
You do not need to be in the seat because of the
jumper wire being used. Run the engine at full throttle
and release the brake.
6. Run the machine at least 5 minutes with the
motion-control levers at full forward speed to bring the
hydraulic oil up to operating temperature.
7. Bring the motion-control levers into the N
position.
8. Adjust the pump-control rod lengths by rotating the
double nuts on the rod in the appropriate direction
until the wheels slightly creep in reverse

9. Move the motion-control levers to the R
position, and while applying slight pressure to the lever,
allow the reverse indicator springs to bring the levers

Note: The wheels must stop turning or slightly creep
in reverse.
10. Shut off the machine.
11. Remove the jumper wire from wire harness and plug
the connector into the seat switch.
12. Remove the jack stands.
13. Raise the deck and install the height-of-cut pin.
