WOODS ADJUSTMENTS

HYDROSTAT ADJUSTMENTS

A turnbuckle-style hydrostat neutral adjustment is
provided.
Neutral:
1. Support the machine with the rear wheels off
the ground. Use jackstands or equivalent sup-
port. Do not rely only on mechanical or hydraulic
jacks.
2. Move the traction levers out into the neutral lock
position and raise the seat.
3. Disconnect the seat switch wire K and
temporarily connect the two terminals with
jumper wire J as shown.
4. Start the engine and run at low speed.
5. Loosen jam nuts T at both ends of the control
rod.
6. Rotate the control rod until the corresponding
wheel stops turning. Lock the jam nuts. Run the
engine up to high idle to check the adjustment.
Readjust if necessary.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the opposite side.
8. Remove the jumper wire J and reconnect the
seat switch.
Reverse Return:
1. Move traction levers out to the neutral lock posi-
tion and raise the seat.
2. Locknut U should be run on the bolt as far as it
will go.
3. Loosen jam nut Y. Adjust the clevis yoke by
turning the head of the bolt until the clevis pin
just makes contact with the rear of the slot in the
lever it connects with. Tighten jam nut Y.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the opposite side.
NOTE: A slight creep in reverse is acceptable
provided the wheel does not turn and the hydrostat
pump does not whine when the parking brake is on.
