Maintenance
may be required to return the transmissions to neu-
tral. Periodically check the machine.
To Check Traction Linkage
1. On a large, flat open area, drive the machine at
full throttle and full traction speed.
2. Remove your foot from the traction pedal and
measure the distance required for the machine
to come to a stop.
3. If the distance required to stop is greater than
5.5 meters, (18 feet) an adjustment to the trac-
tion linkage is required. Go to the next step.
To Adjust Traction Linkage
1. Park the machine on a level surface, lower the
cutting units to the floor and shut the engine off.
2. Connect the brake pedals together with the lock-
ing pin, push both pedals down and pull the
parking brake latch out.
3. Loosen the outer hex nut securing the eye bolt
to the spring anchor plate.
4. Shorten the distance to decrease the time
required to stop the machine.
5. Rotate clockwise, until the distance between
inside of the eye bolt loop and inside of spring
anchor plate is shortened 3 mm (1/8"). Tighten
the hex nut.
6. Operate the machine and check stopping dis-
tance. Repeat procedure if required.

1. Spring Anchor Plate
2. Eye bolt
3. Inner locknut
4. Outer Locknut
Note: Shortening the distance between the inside
of the eye bolt loop and the inside of the
spring anchor plate increases the force on the
traction pedal. Do not over adjust.
CHANGING TRANSMISSION
FLUID
Change the transmission oil after every 800 hours of
operation, in normal conditions.
1. Position the machine on a level surface, lower
the cutting units, stop the engine, engage the
parking brakes and remove the key from the
ignition switch.
2. Clean the area around the suction line on the
bottom of the transmission. Place the drain pan
under the line.
3. Remove the line from the transmission, allow-
ing the oil to drain into the drain pan.
4. Reinstall the suction line to the transmission.
5. Fill with oil.
6. Before starting the engine after changing trans-
mission oil, disconnect the run (ETR) solenoid
on the engine, and crank the engine several
times for 15 seconds. This allows the charge
pump to fill the transmission with oil before the
engine is started.
