Neutral Adjustment
If the unit “creeps” while the forward speed control lever is
locked in the NEUTRAL position, then it may be necessary to
adjust the adjustment linkage rods
NOTE: Perform this adjustment on a hard, level surface such
as a concrete floor.
1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake and turn
off the engine.
2. There are two jam nuts (B, Figure 20) on each linkage
rod (C). Loosen the jam nuts on both linkage rods and
turn the linkage rods evenly to adjust. If the machine
creeps forward, turn the rods COUNTER-CLOCKWISE
(while standing at the rear of the machine, looking
down), if the machine creeps backward, turn the rods
CLOCKWISE.
3. Lock the jam nuts (B) against the ball studs (A) when
neutral is achieved.
NOTE: This adjustment should not be performed while the
machine is running. It may take several attempts to achieved
neutral, depending upon how much the machine creeps.
Speed Balancing Adjustment
(S/N: 2014523387 & Below)
If the unit veers to the right or left when you are driving the
machine, the top speed of each wheel can be balanced by
turning the linkage adjuster rod (C, Figure 21). Only adjust
the speed of the wheel that is traveling faster.
To Reduce the Speed of the Faster Wheel:
1. Loosen the jam nut (B).
2. Turn the linkage adjuster rod COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to
reduce the speed.
3. Retighten the jam nut when adjustment is complete.
