Adjusting The Transport Speed - Toro Greensmaster
3150 Operator's Manual

A. Loosen both jam nuts securing the traction control
cable to the bulkhead on the hydrostat (Fig. 51).
Make sure the jam nuts are loosened equally and
sufficiently to allow adjustment.

Note: Loosen the nut securing the eccentric to the top of
the hydrostat (Fig. 51).
B. Move the functional control lever to Neutral and the
throttle to Slow. Start the engine.
C. Rotate the eccentric until creep does not occur in
either direction. When the wheel stops rotating,
tighten the nut locking the eccentric and the
adjustment (Fig. 51). Verify the adjustment with the
throttle in the Slow and Fast position.
D. From each side of the bulkhead, tighten the locknuts
evenly, securing the traction cable to the bulkhead
(Fig. 51). Do not twist the cable.
Note: If cable tension exists when the functional control
lever is in neutral, the machine may creep when the lever is
moved to the Mow or Transport position.

Adjusting the Transport Speed

Obtaining Maximum Transport Speed
The traction pedal is adjusted for maximum transport speed
at the factory, but an adjustment may be required if the
pedal reaches full stroke before it contacts the pedal stop, or
if a decrease in transport speed is desired.
To obtain maximum transport speed, put the functional
control lever in the transport position and press down on
the traction pedal. If the pedal contacts the stop (Fig. 52)
before tension is felt on the cable, an adjustment is
required:
1. Put the functional control lever in the transport position
and loosen the locknut securing the pedal stop to the
floor plate (Fig. 52).
2. Tighten the pedal stop until it does not contact the
traction pedal.
3. Continue applying a light load on the transport pedal
and adjust the pedal stop so it contacts the pedal rod and
tighten the nuts.
Important The tension on the cable must not be
excessive or cable life will be reduced.

Reducing Transport Speed
1. Press down on the traction pedal and loosen the locknut
securing the pedal stop to the floor plate.
2. Loosen the pedal stop until the desired transport speed
is obtained.
3. Tighten the locknut securing the pedal stop.
