Traction Control Neutral Adjustment

The machine must not "creep" when traction pedal is
released. If it does creep, an adjustment is required.
1. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting units
and shut engine off. Depress only the right brake pedal
and engage the parking brake.
2. Jack up left side of machine until front tire is off the
shop floor. Support machine with jack stands to prevent
it from falling accidentally.
3. Under right side of transmission, loosen locknut on
traction adjustment cam (Fig. 24).
CAUTION
Engine must be running so final ad ustment
of the traction ad ustment cam can be per ­ j
formed. To guard against possible personal
in ury, keep hands, feet, face and other parts j
of the body away from the muffler, other hot
parts of the engine, and rotating parts.
4. Start the engine and run at low idle. Rotate cam hex
in either direction (keeping large offset portion of cam
hex in rear 180° position) until wheel is not rotating.
5. Tighten locknut to secure adjustment.
6. Stop the engine and release the right brake. Remove
jack stands and lower the machine to the shop floor. Test
drive the machine to make sure it does not creep.

throttle and full traction speed.
2. Remove foot from traction pedal and measure dis ­
tance required for machine to come to a stop.
3. If distance required to stop is greater than 18 feet (5.5
meters) an adjustment is required.

cutting units to floor and shut engine off.

loop and inside of spring anchor plate increases pedal
force on traction pedal. Do not over adjust.
