Adjusting The Transport Speed; Adjusting The Mowing Speed - Toro 04530 Operator's Manual

Adjusting the Transport Speed

Obtaining Maximum Transport Speed
The traction pedal is adjusted for maximum transport
speed at the factory, but an adjustment may be required
if the pedal reaches full stroke before it contacts the
pedal stop, or if a decrease in transport speed is desired.
To obtain maximum transport speed, put the functional
control lever in the transport position and press down
on the traction pedal. If the pedal contacts the stop
(Figure 50) before tension is felt on the cable, an
adjustment is required:
1. Put the functional control lever in the transport
position and loosen the locknut securing the pedal
stop to the floor plate (Figure 50).
2. Tighten the pedal stop until it does not contact the
traction pedal.
3. Continue applying a light load on the transport pedal
and adjust the pedal stop so it contacts the pedal rod
and tighten the nuts.
Important: The tension on the cable must not
be excessive or cable life will be reduced.
