Neutral Adjustments - Simplicity SNAPPER ZT18440KH Dealer Setup & Adjustment Instructions Manual

Neutral Adjustments

If the tractor creeps while the ground speed control
levers are locked in neutral, then it may be necessary to
adjust the linkage rods.
Perform this adjustment on a hard level surface such as
a concrete floor.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This adjustment should be per-
formed with the engine OFF. Perform the adjustment,
then start the engine to check the adjustment. If further
adjustment is required, stop the engine before adjusting
the linkage.
1. Determine which wheel is creeping. The left side
hydro pump and control linkage control the left wheel,
the right linkage controls the right wheel.
2. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake, turn
the engine off, remove the key, and wait for all mov-
ing parts to stop.
3. Check the control rod spring (A) length. The com-
pressed spring length should be 2-3/16" (5,56cm)
4. Disconnect the rod end (B, Figure 13) and loosen the
jam nut. Turn the rod end one to two turns to length-
en or shorten the control rod, then retighten the jam
nut, and reconnect the rod end.
5. Start the unit and check for transmission creep.
Repeat steps 2-4 if necessary.
