Adjusting the Transmission
for Neutral
If the machine creeps when the traction control pedal
is in the neutral position, the neutral return mechanism
must be adjusted.
1. Block up under the frame so that one of the front
wheels is off of the floor.
Note: Note: If machine is equipped with a 3 wheel
drive kit, also raise and block rear wheel.
2. Start the engine, move the throttle to Slow, and
check the front wheel that is off of the floor; it must
not be rotating.
3. If the wheel is rotating, stop the engine and proceed
as follows:
A. Loosen both jam nuts securing the traction
control cable to the bulkhead on the hydrostat
(Figure 49). Make sure the jam nuts are loosened
equally and sufficiently to allow adjustment.
B. Loosen the nut securing the eccentric to the top
of the hydrostat (Figure 49).
C. Move the functional control lever to Neutral and
the throttle to Slow. Start the engine.
D. Rotate the eccentric until creep does not occur in
either direction. When the wheel stops rotating,
tighten the nut locking the eccentric and the
adjustment (Figure 49). Verify the adjustment
with the throttle in the Slow and Fast position.
E. From each side of the bulkhead, tighten the
locknuts evenly, securing the traction cable to
the bulkhead (Figure 49). Do not twist the cable.
Note: If cable tension exists when the functional
control lever is in neutral, the machine may
creep when the lever is moved to the Mow or
Transport position.

Adjusting the Transport Speed

The traction pedal is adjusted for maximum transport
speed at the factory, but an adjustment may be required
if the pedal reaches full stroke before it contacts the
pedal stop, or if a decrease in transport speed is desired.
Press down on the traction pedal. If the pedal contacts
the stop (Figure 50) before tension is felt on the cable,
an adjustment is required:
1. Pedal stop
1. Loosen flangehead locknuts securing the pedal stop
to the floor plate (Figure 50).
2. Adjust the pedal stop so it contacts the pedal rod
and tighten the nuts.

Adjusting the Mowing Speed

The machine is adjusted at the factory, but speed may
be varied if desired.
1. Loosen the jam nut on the trunnion bolt (Figure 51).
2. Loosen the nut securing the lock and mow brackets
on the pedal pivot.
