Directional Control System - Windsor TRACER FS Operating Instructions Manual

MAINTENANCE

DIRECTIONAL CONTROL SYSTEM

(Refer to the Electrical Control Group in the
Parts section)
The directional control system controls the direction
and speed of the machine. The system is made up
of the directional pedal, the throttle box, the
transistorized controller and contactors. The
controller, located in the electrical drive
compartment, is sealed and can only be serviced by
trained service personnel.
Do not use a pressure washer to clean the inside
of the electrical drive compartment.
When servicing machine, disconnect battery
connections before working on machine.
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL PEDAL ADJUSTMENT
(Refer to the Console Group in the Parts section)
The directional control pedal is designed to prevent
driver fatigue. However if a different pedal angle is
preferred, these directions should be followed.
1. Raise rear cover.
2. Disconnect batteries from machine.
3. Locate and remove the directional control pedal
stop bolt.
4. Locate the linkage rod beneath the directional
control pedal.
5. Adjusting the length of the linkage rod controls
the pedal angle. Shortening the linkage rod
causes the pedal to have a flatter angle with the
floor. Lengthening the linkage rod causes the
pedal to have a steeper angle.
6. To change the length of the linkage rod,
disconnect the upper end of the linkage rod from
the forward/reverse arm.
7. Loosen the locking nuts on both ends of the
threaded portion of the linkage rod.
8. Turning the balljoint changes the length of the
linkage rod, be sure that there is a minimum of
5/16" of threaded rod engaged in each of the
balljoints.
9. When the new length is established, reconnect
the upper balljoint to the forward/reverse arm.
10. Tighten the two locking nuts on the threaded
portion of the linkage rod.
11. Reposition the directional foot pedal stop bolt.
12. The stop bolt must be adjusted so that the
directional foot pedal comes in contact with the
stop while there is still a small amount of travel
remaining in the throttle arm. This is done to
prevent heavy foot pressure from damaging the
throttle unit.
