ADJUSTMENTS
TRACTION CONTROL LINKAGE
The transaxles on this machine are spring loaded to
the neutral position. The traction control levers need
to be adjusted so the LH lever is in the neutral slot
when the tractions are released. The right hand lever
is adjusted to line up with the left hand lever.
To Adjust:
1. Loosen the jam nuts on either end of the con-
trol rod. Note: the end nearest the flats on the
rod has left hand threads. Adjust the left rod by
turning it to locate the left hand traction lever as
desired.
2. Tighten the jam nuts against the rod ends to lock
the adjustment.
3. Complete the adjustment by turning the right rod
to line up the right traction lever with the left one.
Moving the location of the traction lever in the slot by
way of adjustment can be used to affect top forward
speed and reverse speed of the unit within the limits
of the transaxles control stroke. Adjusting the LH
control to the rear of the neutral slot will increase
forward speed by reducing the available stroke for
reverse and lowering maximum reverse speed. Do
not adjust beyond the point where the end of the hy-
drostat stroke is reached before the control lever hits
the front reference bar with the reference bar moved
all the way forward.
TIRE SCRAPERS
Rear tire scrapers
P
are provided to prevent mud
build up on the drive tires during operation in muddy
conditions. The tire scrapers should be positioned
so there is about 1/8" (3mm) clearance between the
wheel and the scraper.
To Adjust:
1. Loosen the bolts securing the tire scrapers.
2. Position the tire scraper 1/8" (3mm) from the
nearest tire surface.
3. Tighten bolts.
