Adjusting the Neutral Stud
Electrical system will not perform proper safety
shut off with Operator Presence Control (OPC)
levers held in place.
• Make sure Operator Presence Control
(OPC) levers are working when adjustment
is completed.
• Never operate this unit with Operator
Presence Control (OPC) levers held in place.
Mechanical or hydraulic jacks may fail to
support machine and cause a serious injury.
• Use jack stands when supporting machine.
• Do not use hydraulic jacks.
1. With the machine on jack stands, place the speed
control lever in the neutral position.
2. Hold the OPC levers down.
Note:
The OPC levers must be held down
whenever the speed control lever is out of the neutral
position or the engine will kill.
3. Adjust the left and right neutral stud until the clevis
pin in the yoke touches the back end of the slot in
the control arm (Figure 51).
4. Move the speed control lever to the full forward
position.
5. Squeeze one drive lever until an increased resistance
is felt. This is neutral position. This is where the
clevis pin in the yoke comes to the back end of the
slot in the control arm bracket.
Note:
Make sure you have not reached the end of
the neutral lock slot. If you have, shorten the control
lever linkage. Refer to Adjusting the Control Rod.
6. If the wheel turns while holding the drive lever
in neutral, the neutral stud needs to be adjusted
(Figure 51). If wheel stops then go to 12.@@@5.
7. Loosen the nut against the yoke (Figure 51).
8. Adjust the adjustment stud until the respective drive
wheel stops while holding the drive in the neutral
position (increased resistance) (Figure 51).
9. Turn the adjusting bolt approximately 1/4 turn
clockwise if the wheel is turning in reverse or turn
the bolt approximately 1/4 turn counter-clockwise if
the wheel is turning forward (Figure 51).
10. Release the drive lever to the forward drive position
and squeeze back into the neutral position. Check
to see if the wheel stops. If not, repeat the above
adjustment procedure.
11. After adjustments are made, tighten the nuts against
the yokes.
12. Repeat this procedure for the opposite side.
