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 43). Make sure the jam nuts are loosened
equally and sufficiently to allow adjustment.
