CARE AND MAINTENANCE

NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT

DRIVE MACHINE UNTIL HYDROSTATS HAVE WARMED UP. WITH ENGINE RUNNING AND THE PARKING BRAKE OFF, SWING OUT THE CONTROL LEVERS. IF MACHINE STARTS TO CREEP, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.

1.Stop the engine, engage parking brake, and raise rear of frame with jack or blocks so that rear tires do not contact the ground.

2.Swing out the control levers, start the engine and release the parking brake.

3.Raise the seat to access hydro control linkage. If right wheel creeps, adjust right side linkage, and vice-versa. Use procedure below:

a.Loosen, but do not remove, the bolt in the control tube P/N 5540.

b.Loosen Jam nuts on ends of the coupler P/N 7736.

c.If right wheel is creeping forward, turn coupler counter clockwise until neutral is achieved (clockwise for left side). If right wheel is creeping backward, turn coupler clockwise until neutral is achieved (counterclockwise for left side).

d.Tighten jam nutsagainst coupler.

e.Tighten bolt in control tube.

4.Lower seat, release parking brake, and swing control levers in. If wheel creeps, repeat steps 3a & 3e.

5.Stop engine and remove rear of machine from jack or blocks.

6.Drive machine with both levers in top speed position. If one side now drives slightly faster than the other, adjust lever stop washer P/N 5760 on that side to reduce forward range of control lever. If levers are now uneven at top speed, loosen control lever mounting nut. Rotate lever to be even with other side and tighten nut.
