Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury.
• If hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin
it must be surgically removed within a
few hours by a doctor familiar with this
type of injury. Gangrene may result if
this is not done.
• Keep body and hands away from pin hole
leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure
hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic
leaks.
• Safely relieve all pressure in the hydraulic
system before performing any work on
the hydraulic system.
• Make sure all hydraulic fluid hoses
and lines are in good condition and
all hydraulic connections and fittings
are tight before applying pressure to
hydraulic system.
Setting the Hydraulic Pump
Neutral Position
Note:
Adjust the handle neutral first. That needs
to be correct before the following adjustment can
be made.
Mechanical or hydraulic jacks may fail to
support machine and cause a serious injury.
• Use jack stand when supporting
machine.
• Do not use hydraulic jacks.
Engine must be running so motion control
adjustment can be performed. Contact with
moving parts or hot surfaces may cause
personal injury.
Keep hands, feet, face, clothing and other
body parts away from rotating parts, muffler
and other hot surfaces.
This adjustment must be made with drive wheels
turning.
1. Raise the frame and use jack stands to hold up
the machine so drive wheels can rotate freely.
2. Unlatch the seat, tilt the seat forward and
disconnect electrical connector from the seat
safety switch.
3. Temporarily install a jumper wire across
terminals in the wiring harness connector.
4. Slide the seat forward, disconnect the prop rod
and tilt the seat fully forward.
Setting the Right-hand Hydraulic
Pump Neutral Position
1. Start the engine, open the throttle 1/2 way and
release parking brake. Refer to Starting and
Stopping the Engine in Operation, page 15.
Note:
The motion control lever must be in
neutral while making any adjustments.
2. Adjust the pump rod length by rotating the
knob, in the appropriate direction, until the
wheel is still or slightly creeping in reverse
(Figure 62).
