Adjusting Transmission For Neutral
If the machine "creeps" when the traction control pedal
is in the neutral position, the spring leaf assembly must
be adjusted.
1. Block up under the frame so one of the front wheels
is off the floor. Place selector control in two wheel drive
position.
2. To expose spring leaf assembly, remove (4) screws
securing right fender to frame and remove fender.
3. Start engine, move throttle to SLOW and check front
wheel that is off shop floor; it must not be rotating. If
wheel is rotating forward, loosen capscrews and lightly
tap bottom of pump plate counterclockwise (as viewed
while facing pump plate). Lightly tap pump plate clock ­
wise if wheel is rotating backward. When wheel stops
rotating, tighten capscrews holding pump plate against
side of pump. Verify the adjustment with throttle in
SLOW and FAST position.
4. Should the wheel continue to rotate, check for the
following:
A. Ball bearing is loose or worn out.
B. Plunger on interlock switch is sticking.
C. Loose or missing fasteners.
D. Worn fasteners.
E. Pump lever loose on control shaft. (Correct by
applying Loctite 271 or 601 to shaft).
F. Weak or damaged leaf springs. Replace.
G. Internal pump component malfunction.
