NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT
DRIVE MACHINE UNTIL HYDROSTATS HAVE WARMED UP. WITH ENGINE RUNNING AND
THE PARKING BRAKE OFF, SWING OUT THE CONTROL LEVERS. IF MACHINE STARTS TO
CREEP, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.
1. Stop the engine, engage parking brake, and raise rear of frame with jack or blocks so that rear tires do not
contact the ground.
2. Swing out the control levers, start the engine and release the parking brake.
3. Raise the seat to access hydro control linkage. If right wheel creeps, adjust right side linkage, and vice-versa. Use
procedure below:
a. Loosen, but do not remove, the bolt in the control tube P/N 5540.
b. Loosen Jam nuts on ends of the
coupler P/N 7736.
c. If right wheel is creeping forward,
turn coupler counter clockwise until
neutral is achieved (clockwise for left
side). If right wheel is creeping
backward, turn coupler clockwise until
neutral is achieved (counterclockwise
for left side).
d. Tighten jam nuts against coupler.
e. Tighten bolt in control tube.

Lower seat, release parking brake, and swing control levers in. If wheel creeps, repeat steps 3a & 3e.

6. Drive machine with both levers in top speed
position. If one side now drives slightly faster
than the other, adjust lever stop washer P/N

control lever. If levers are now uneven at top
speed, loosen control lever mounting nut.
Rotate lever to be even with other side and
tighten nut.
