NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT
-NOTE-
Neutral has been set by your Scag dealer at the
time of set up and normally does not need to be
adjusted. If, however, you find that the neutral
has come out of adjustment, follow the procedure
below.
1. Be sure the dump valves are in the run position and
the steering control levers are in the neutral position.
2. With an operator in the operating position, park the
machine on a flat level surface, start the engine and
disengage the parking brake.
3. Run the engine at full operating speed and check if
the machine creeps forward or backwards.
4. Adjust the LH wheel by loosening the jam nuts on
the steering control rod and turning the rod until the
drive wheel turns in the forward direction. Turn the
rod back until the drive wheel stops moving. Turn the
rod an additional 1/2 turn. See Figure 6-2.

5. Repeat for the RH wheel using the same adjustment
procedure listed above.
6. Actuate the steering control levers forward and
reverse several times and return them to the neutral
position.
7. Check that the drive wheels remained in neutral and
readjust if necessary.
8. Check that the steering control levers hit the stop
before the pumps reach full stroke. Adjust as
needed.
TRACKING ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION
Stop the engine and remove the key from the
ignition before making any adjustments. Wait
for all moving parts to come to a complete stop
before beginning work.
CAUTION
The engine and drive unit can get hot during
operation causing burn injuries. Allow the engine
and drive components to cool before making any
adjustments.
-NOTE-
Before proceeding with this adjustment, be sure
that the caster wheels turn freely and that the tire
pressure in the drive wheels is correct. If the tire
pressure is not correct, the machine will pull to the
side with the lower pressure.
1. If at full speed the mower pulls right, it is an
indication that the left wheel is turning faster than
the right wheel. To adjust this condition, proceed as
follows:
A. Stop the machine and place the steering control
levers in the neutral position. Loosen the lock nuts
securing the ball joints at each end of the LH steering
control rod. Rotate the control rod to lengthen the rod
and tighten the lock nuts. This will cause the control
rod to stroke the LH pump less, slowing down the LH
wheel. See Figure 6-2.
