The belt should deflect 11 mm (7/16 inch). If the
deflection is incorrect, proceed to step 3. If it is correct,
you are finished with this procedure.
3. Loosen the bolt securing the brace to the alternator
(Figure 49) and the alternator pivot bolt.
4. Insert a pry bar between the alternator and the engine
and pry on the alternator.

Adjusting the Traction Drive
for Neutral
Note: If the machine has recently had the hydraulic fluid
changed or the traction motors or hoses replaced, work
out any air trapped in the system prior to performing this
procedure. To do this, operate the machine in forward
and reverse for a few minutes and then replenish the oil as
required.
Note: When positioned on a level surface, the machine must
not creep when you release the traction pedal.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, engage the parking
brake, lower the cutting unit to the floor, and shut off
the engine.
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.
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 that you can
perform this adjustment. This could cause
personal injury.
Keep your 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 S
and observe which direction the rear tires rotate.
Important: Make sure that the traction pedal is in
the N position.
