Checking the Hydro Neutral Position
No Parts Required
Procedure
Ensure that the neutral position is set properly. If the tractor moves when the traction control pedal is not pressed, adjust the neutral position.
1.With the tractor in the Neutral position, run the engine at a low idle and move the traction control pedal forward, then release.
2.Move the traction control pedal to reverse, then release.
If the tractor moves while it is in the Neutral position, complete the following procedure to adjust it:
1.Run the tractor for 5 to 10 minutes to warm up the transaxle.
2.Disengage the blade (PTO).
3.Set the parking brake.
4.Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
5.Remove the ignition key.
6.Raise the right rear wheel off the ground and support it with a jack stand.
Note: Ensure that the left rear wheel stays on the ground.
Mechanical or hydraulic jacks may fail to support the tractor and cause a serious injury.
•Use jack stands when supporting the tractor.
•Do not use hydraulic jacks.
Note: To gain access to the adjusting puck (Figure 11), you may need to remove the tire.
