WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM
SPEED POTENTIOMETER ADJUSTMENT
Before adjusting the potentiometer . . .
•
Gently move the front of the drive pedal up and down in neutral, to check the free travel in the pedal. If there is more than 1/8 inch (3 mm)
free travel at the front of the drive pedal, adjust Bracket (H) (see Figure 14) up or down to eliminate the free travel.
•
Gently move the drive pedal to the full forward and full reverse position to check for binding or rough operation. Clean and lubricate the
pedal and potentiometer linkage or replace defective parts as required.
•
Make sure that Collar (I) is centered between the levers on the (2) set screws in the collar, center the collar between the switch levers and
tighten the set screws.
•
Make sure that the (2) set screws in Collar (I) face directly toward the front of the machine. The speed potentiometer linkage can bind if
the collar is turned to the right or left. If necessary, loosen the set screws, turn the collar to the proper position and tighten the set screws.
To adjust the potentiometer . . .
1
Disconnect the battery connector (behind right-rear door) and remove the electrical access panel on the front of the machine.
2
Adjust the reverse stop bolt, located under the back of the drive pedal. The pedal should hit the stop bolt at the same time the edges of
the pedal hit the floor panel.
3
See Figure 15. Move Hose Clamp (S) to your right, as far as possible on Coupler (R).
4
Remove the (2) wires from the potentiometer terminals and connect an ohmmeter as shown.
5
Grip Coupler (R) and turn it until the meter reads 0 ohms.
6
Push the back of the drive pedal flat against the floor panel and turn Coupler (R) until the meter reads 3500 ohms.
7
Release the pedal and move Clamp (S) to the left end of Coupler (R).
8
Watch the ohmmeter while pressing down on the front of the drive pedal. The pedal should hit the forward stop bolt (under the front of the
drive pedal) when the meter reads 4500 ohms.
•
If the meter reads 4500 ohms before the pedal hits the stop bolt, release the pedal and adjust the bolt upward.
•
If meter reads less than 4500 ohms when the pedal hits the stop bolt, adjust the stop bolt downward.
9
Connect the wires to the potentiometer, close the front panel and test the machine for proper operation.
