Neutral Adjustment, Speed Balancing Adjustment | Snapper 5900700

Neutral Adjustment

If the unit “creeps” while the forward speed control lever is locked in the NEUTRAL position, then it may be necessary to adjust the linkage rod.

NOTE: Perform this adjustment on a hard, level surface such as a concrete floor.

1.Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake and turn off the engine.

2.There are two jam nuts (B, Figure 29) on the linkage rod

(A). Loosen the jam nuts on the linkage rod and turn the linkage rod to adjust. If the machine creeps forward, turn the rod COUNTER-CLOCKWISE (while standing at the rear of the machine, looking down), if the machine creeps backward, turn the rod CLOCKWISE.

3.Lock the jam nuts (B) against the ball studs when neutral is achieved.

NOTE: This adjustment should not be performed while the machine is running. It may take several attempts to achieved neutral, depending upon how much the machine creeps.

Speed Balancing Adjustment

If the unit veers to the right or left when you are driving the machine, the top speed of each wheel can be balanced by turning the linkage adjuster rod (C, Figure 30). Only adjust the speed of the wheel that is traveling faster.

To Reduce the Speed of the Faster Wheel:

1.Loosen the jam nut (B).

2.Turn the linkage adjuster rod COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to reduce the speed.

3.Retighten the jam nut when adjustment is complete.

WARNING

DO NOT adjust the unit for a faster overall speed forward or reverse than it was designed for.
