Neutral Adjustment |
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the unit “creeps” while the forward speed control lever is |
|
| A |
| ||
locked in the NEUTRAL position, then it may be necessary to |
|
| ||||
|
|
| ||||
adjust the adjustment linkage rods |
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Perform this adjustment on a hard, level surface such |
| B |
| |||
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 20) on each linkage |
|
|
|
| ||
rod (C). Loosen the jam nuts on both linkage rods and |
|
| C |
| ||
turn the linkage rods evenly to adjust. If the machine |
|
|
| |||
|
|
|
| |||
creeps forward, turn the rods |
|
|
|
| ||
(while standing at the rear of the machine, looking |
|
| B |
| ||
down), if the machine creeps backward, turn the rods |
|
|
| |||
|
|
|
| |||
CLOCKWISE. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Lock the jam nuts (B) against the ball studs (A) when |
|
|
|
| ||
neutral is achieved. |
|
|

|
NOTE: This adjustment should not be performed while the |

| |||
machine is running. It may take several attempts to achieved |

Speed Balancing Adjustment |
|
|
|
|
| |
(S/N: 2014523387 & Below) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 21). Only adjust |
|
|
|
| ||
the speed of the wheel that is traveling faster. |
|
|
| A | ||
To Reduce the Speed of the Faster Wheel: |
|
|
| |||
|
|
|
| |||
1. Loosen the jam nut (B). |
|
|
|
|
| B |
2. Turn the linkage adjuster rod |
|
|
|
| ||
reduce the speed. |
|
|
|
|
| C |
3. Retighten the jam nut when adjustment is complete. |
|
|
|
| ||
WARNING |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Do NOT adjust the tractor for a faster overall speed forward or reverse than it was designed for.
