Adjusting the Traction
Drive for Neutral
The machine must not creep when you release the
traction pedal. If it does creep, adjust it as follows:
1. Park the machine on a level surface, lower the
cutting units to the ground, shut off the engine,
and remove the key.
2. Jack up the front of the machine until the front
tires are off the ground. Support the machine
with jack stands to prevent it from falling
accidentally.
Note:
On 4-wheel-drive models, the rear tires
must also be off the ground.
3. On the right side of the hydrostat, loosen the
locknut on the traction-adjustment cam
