Checking the Hydro Neutral
Position
Ensure that the neutral position is set properly. An
adjustment is required if the tractor moves without the
traction control pedal being depressed.
1. Run the engine at a low idle and move the traction
control pedal forward, then release. Move the traction
control pedal to reverse, then release. If the tractor
moves, proceed as follows:
2. Run the tractor for 5 to 10 minutes to warm the
transaxle.
3. Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, stop the
engine, and remove the ignition key.
4. Raise the right rear wheel off of the ground and support
it with a jack stand. Make sure that the left rear wheel
stays on the ground.
Danger
Mechanical or hydraulic jacks may fail to support
the machine and cause a serious injury.
Use jack stands when supporting the machine.
Do not use hydraulic jacks.
Note: To gain access to the adjusting puck (Fig. 8), it may
be necessary to remove the tire.
5. Loosen the adjusting puck screw (Fig. 8).
6. Start the engine and run it at full throttle.
7. Rotate the adjusting puck (Fig. 8) in both directions
until you find the midpoint where the axle no longer
rotates forward or reverse.
8. Hold the puck with an adjustable wrench so that it will
not move; then tighten and torque the adjusting puck
screw to 21 to 27 ft.-lb. (28 to 36 N m).
9. Stop the engine and remove the ignition key. Lower the
tractor from the jack stand.
10. Check the adjustment again by repeating step 1.

Checking the Traction Control
Pedal
The traction control pedal can be adjusted for optimum
forward and reverse speeds.
1. Loosen the screws below the right footrest. Slide the
pedal forward for faster reverse speed or backward for
faster forward speed (Fig. 9).
2. Tighten the screws and recheck the traction control
pedal.
