ADJUSTMENTS 3
3.3 NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT ___________________________________________________
The traction pedal is designed to return to neutral
whenever the forward or reverse foot pedals are
released. If the tractor continues to creep after the
traction pedal is released, check neutral adjustment and
adjust traction pedal linkage.
1. Disconnect pump linkage from traction pedal.
2. With linkage disconnected, check position of return
arm on drive pump. Pointer (E) on arm should be
centered in the sensing area of the switch (G).
Note: This switch forms part of the operator back-up
system and senses when the traction pedal is in
neutral. If the operator back-up system fails to
operate properly have the switch checked and
replaced before operating tractor.
3. To adjust pointer, loosen the two screws (F) holding
return arm bracket to pump. Position bracket until
pointer is centered. Tighten bracket in place.
4. Check operator back-up system and operation of
traction pedal after adjustment has been made.
Four Wheel Drive
Machines equipped with four wheel drive include a switch
to prevent operation of four drive in reverse. This switch
is located on the same bracket as the neutral switch.
When replacing switch the sensing area (H) must be
positioned under return arm as shown with pump in
neutral.

3.4 SPEED___________________________________________________________________
Before making any speed adjustment at pump, check
that the engine is operating at full rpm, under load, and
throttle lever is set correctly. If adjustment is required, it is
only necessary to adjust forward speed.
7. Check operator back-up system and operation of
traction pedal after adjustment has been made.
To limit forward speed while mowing adjust traction pedal
speed limiter, Section 3.6.
1. Check neutral adjustment and adjust if required.
2. Disconnect rod end (I) from traction pedal.
3. Push traction pedal forward (J) until it touches floor
panel.
4. Push return arm (K) on drive pump back until it hits
internal stop on pump housing. In this position the
pump is at full stroke.
5. With both the pump and traction pedal at full
forward stroke, adjust rod end (I) at pedal in or out
so it aligns directly with hole (L) in link arm.
Note: Additional adjustment can be made on rod end
at pump if necessary.
