TRACTION CONTROL PEDAL __________________________________________

The LPV transmission pump has an internal neutralizing mechanism
which cannot be adjusted. If the machine does however creep carry out
the following.
1.
Lift and support the machine so that both front and rear wheel are
off the ground and free to rotate.
2.
Remove ball joint from pump lever to allow pump to neutralize. (A)
3.
Start engine, manually move the pump control lever and release to
ensure wheels stop rotating.

is no creep in neutral position.
9.2

WEIGHT TRANSFER ADJUSTMENT _____________________________________

The weight transfer bias can be adjusted on the lift valve. The valve is accessible from under the Hydraulic tank
cover.To adjust:
1.
Loosen the locknut A whilst holding the threaded shaft still with the Allen Key B.
2.
To increase weight onto the drive wheels when the weight transfer is engaged, use an Allen Key B to
rotate the threaded shaft clockwise in direction D. This improves traction and slope climbing performance.
To reduce weight on the drive wheels when the weight transfer is engaged, rotate the threaded shaft
counter clockwise in direction C. This increases the ground weight of the cutting unit and will reduce the
possibility of unit "bounce" on undulating ground. It is recommended that the Allen key B 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. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
