Adjusting the Controls

The factory adjusts the controls before shipping the
machine. However, after many hours of use, you
may need to adjust the traction control alignment,
the N position of the traction control, and the
EUTRAL
tracking of the traction control in the full forward
position.
Important:
To adjust the controls properly,
complete each procedure in the order listed.
Adjusting the Traction Control
Alignment
If the traction control bar does not rest flush and
square with the reference bar when in the full
backward position, immediately complete the following
procedure:
1. Park the machine on a level surface, engage the
parking brake, and lower the loader arms.
2. Shut off the engine and remove the key.
3. Pull straight back on the traction control so the
front of the control contacts the reference bar
(Figure 55).
