NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT - HYDRO
If the tractor creeps forward or backward with the engine
running and both travel pedals released, perform the fol-
lowing adjustment:
1. Raise the rear of the tractor off the ground with suit-
able hoist or floor jack. Install jackstands underneath
the transaxle and block the front wheels.
2. Start the engine and release the parking brake while
keeping seat switch depressed.
3. See figure 20. Loosen the nut (A) securing the neu-
tral adjustment rod (B). Move the rod until neutral is
found, then retighten the nut.
4. The stop pin (D, figure 20) should be positioned 1/8" -
3/16" from the end of the cam slot (C, figure 20) as
shown when the front pedal edge is 1/4" above the
frame (pedal fully depressed). If it is not, proceed to
the Forward Speed Adjustment procedure below.
FORWARD SPEED ADJUSTMENT - HYDRO
If the unit does not reach top speed with the forward
direction pedal fully depressed, perform the following
adjustment with the engine off and PTO disengaged.
1. See figures 21a & 21b. Loosen the nut (A, figure 21a)
securing the control rod (B) to the hydro control lever.
NOTE: Hydro control rod (B) should be on the inside of the
hydro control lever (C). If the rod is not in that position,
remove the hardware, reposition the rod as shown.
2. Position the pedal so the distance between the frame
and bottom edge of the pedal is 1-3/4" as shown in
figure 21b.
