Controls System
Maintenance
The factory adjusts the controls before shipping the machine.
However, after many hours of use, you may need to adjust
the traction control alignment, the neutral position of the
traction control, and the tracking of the traction control in the
full forward position.
Important: To adjust the controls properly, complete
each procedure in the order listed.
Adjusting the Traction Control
Alignment
If the traction control bar does not rest flush and square
with the reference bar when in the full backward position,
immediately complete the following procedure:
1. Park the machine on a flat surface and lower the
grinder.
2. Stop the engine and remove the key.
3. Pull straight back on the traction control so the front
of the control contacts the reference bar (Figure 50).

and flush with the reference bar, loosen the flange nut
and bolt in the stem of the traction control (Figure 51).

6. Tighten the flange nut and bolt in the traction control
stem.
7. Start the engine.
8. Drive the machine in reverse with the traction control
tight to the reference bar. If the machine does not back
up straight, complete the following procedure:
A. Stop the engine
B. Lift/support the machine so that both tracks are
off of the ground and are free to run.
C. Loosen the flange nut and bolt in the stem of the
traction control (Figure 51).
D. Loosen the jam nuts on the traction rods, under
the control panel (Figure 53).
