Transmission Control
The following instructions reflect the most current
transmission linkage configuration with a spring/
dampener connected to the steering lever and the
FSC using direct linkage instead of a sliding fork
disconnect (starting S/N 15-134121). Earlier units
will need to use the transmission control adjustment
instructions from the P/N 9000-30 Service Manual.
IMPORTANT:
The proper adjustment of the trans-
mission control stops is
essential
for efficient op-
eration and life of the transmission. These stops are
properly adjusted at the factory and should only re-
quire readjustment if the transmission or related
control linkage is removed or changed.
NOTE:
It would not be unusual for a new machine,
after initial 5 or 10 hours of operation, to begin to not
travel straight (this is due to the break-in of the trans-
missions). In this case, proceed to
Straight Ground
Travel Adjustment - Step 4.

The following adjustment procedures
are sequential. Check and adjust each function in
the order given.
Set FSC Travel Limits (Stop) - Step 1
Correct FSC Lever Neutral-Park Position
1. Move the Forward Speed Control (FSC) lever to
the most
FORWARD
position.
2. Check clearance of the RH and LH steering lever
actuator arms with the frame and
adjust for-
ward stop bolt
so each lever clears the frame
by at least 1/16 in. (1.6 mm). Clearance of the
arm to the frame should be checked while

ing pressure back
on the arm to remove any
slack in the linkage.
