Adjusting the Traction Drive
for Neutral
Note: If the machine has recently had the hydraulic oil
changed or the traction motors or hoses replaced, any air
trapped in the system will have to be worked out prior to
performing this procedure. This can be accomplished by
operating the machine in forward and reverse for a few
minutes and then replenishing the oil as required.
When positioned on a level surface, the machine must not
creep when the traction pedal is released. If it does creep,
adjust as follows:
1. Park the machine on a level surface, stop the engine,
and lower the cutting unit to the floor.
2. Jack up the rear of the machine until the rear tires are
off the shop floor. Support the machine with jack
stands to prevent it from falling accidentally.
Note: On 4 wheel drive models, the front tires must
also be off the shop floor and supported by jack stands.
WARNING
The engine must be running so this
adjustment can be performed. This could
cause personal injury.
Keep hands, feet, face, and other body parts
away from any hot parts of the engine and any
rotating parts.
3. Start the engine, set the throttle to the Slow position
and observe which direction the rear tires rotate.
Important: Make sure that the traction pedal is
in the neutral position.
•
If the left rear tire is rotating, loosen the jam nuts
on the left side transmission control rod
47).
Note: The forward end of the control rod has a
left hand thread. The rear end of the rod, which
is connected to the transmission, has a right hand
thread.
1. Transmission control rods
•
If the left rear tire is rotating in reverse, lengthen
the rod by slowly turning the rod counter-clockwise
(as viewed from the front) until the left rear tire
stops rotating or minimal rotation is detected in
reverse
•
If the left rear tire is rotating forward, shorten the
rod by slowly turning the rod clockwise (as viewed
from the front) until the left rear tire stops rotating.
4. Move the throttle to the Fast position. Make sure the
wheel remains stopped or minimal creep is detected in
reverse. Adjust as required.
5. Tighten the jam nuts.
6. Repeat the procedure for the right rear tire, if required,
by using the right side transmission control rod .
7. Stop the engine. Remove the jack stands and lower the
machine to the shop floor.
8. Test drive the machine to make sure it does not creep.
