9.1

TRACTION CONTROL PEDAL

The LPV transmission pump has an internal
neutralising mechanism which cannot be adjusted. If
the machine does however creep carry out the
following.
1. Lift and support both front and rear wheels.
2. Remove ball joint from pump lever to allow
pump to neutralise.
3. Start engine, manually move the pump control
lever and release to ensure wheels stop
rotating.

WEIGHT TRANSFER ADJUSTMENT

The weight transfer bias can be adjusted on the lift
valve. The valve is accessible from under the seat
plate.
To adjust:
1. Loosen the locknut A whilst holding the
threaded shaft still with the Allen Key B.
2. Using an Allen key B rotate the threaded shaft
clockwise in direction D to increase weight onto
the drive wheels when the traction control
switch is operated on the control panel. This
improves slope climbing performance. To
reduce weight on the drive wheels when the
traction control switch is operated on the
control panel, rotate the threaded shaft counter
clockwise in direction C. This increases the
ground weight of the cutting unit and will
reduce the possibility of cutting unit "bounce"
when working at high speed on undulating
ground. It is recommended that the Allen key
is turned a 1/4 turn at a time and the weight
transfer tested.
3. Tighten locknut A. whilst holding the threaded
shaft still with the Allen Key B.
