WARNING
To avoid serious injury, perform adjustments only with engine
stopped, key removed, and tractor parked on level ground.
1.
Position the ground speed control levers into the NEUTRAL
LOCKOUT position
2.
Loosen the set collar (A, Figure 42) on the neutral return
rod (B).
42
3.
Position the set collar along the neutral return rod until it
contacts and very lightly compresses the neutral return
spring (C).
4.
Move the ground speed control levers into the operating
position, pull rearward, and release.
5.
Move the ground speed control levers out towards the
NEUTRAL LOCKOUT position.
• if the ground speed control lever aligns with the notch
in the neutral lock plate, adjustment is complete;
• if the ground speed control lever stops it's return motion
past the notch (while standing at the rear of the
machine), re-position the set collar so the neutral return
spring is less compressed.
• if the ground speed control lever stops it's return motion
before the notch (while standing at the rear of the
machine), re-position the set collar so that the neutral
return spring is more compressed.
6.
Repeat the process as necessary until the ground speed
control lever aligns with the notch in the neutral lock plate.
Note: It is important to note that after every adjustment of the
neutral return rod, the lever must be pulled rearward and
released to properly check the return-to-neutral position.
Neutral Lockout Adjustment
Prior to adjusting the neutral lockout, the neutral and
return-to-neutral must be properly adjusted.
1.
Park the unit on a flat, level surface such as a concrete
floor. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake, turn
the ignition switch to OFF, and remove the ignition key.
2.
Chock the wheels of the unit to prevent movement.
3.
Raise the seat to gain access to the neutral lockout
components.
4.
Loosen the jam nuts (A, Figure 43) on the neutral lockout
bolts (B).
43
5.
Engage the parking brake. The neutral lockout bolts will
enter the notches of the neutral lockout plates (C).
6.
Position the neutral lockout bolts to the center of the notches
of the neutral lockout plates.
7.
Re-tighten the jam nuts.
Parking Brake Adjustment
The parking brake mechanism consists of a two parking brake
cables, with a spring on both ends, that routes from the
transmission to the parking brake lever shaft. The position of
the parking brake cables and the compressed length of the
lower springs located by the transmissions are factory preset
and should not be changed for parking brake adjustment
procedures. The adjustment is achieved by changing the
compressed spring length of the upper parking brake springs.
1.
Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake, stop the
engine, and chock the tires.
2.
Raise the seat plate.
3.
Locate the parking brake springs (A, Figure 44).
