DRIVE CONTROL ADJUSTMENTS
LEFT SIDE SHOWN
Control plate shown
in neutral position
Hydro linkage
Start your adjustments by putting the
drive control arms in the neutral position.
Remove the linkage from the control
plate at the Eaton hydro by removing the
cotter pin and washer on the under side.
By moving the control plate forward and
backwards by hand you can easily find
the neutral position on the hydro.
With the drive control handles in the
neutral position, this linkage pivot should
be close to straight up and down.
With control plate on hydro still in the
neutral position, try to put hydro linkage
back into the hole on the plate. If it won’t
go in without forcing one way or the
other, adjust threads here to make an
easy hookup.
With the control linkage once again
removed, move the control plate forward
as far as it will go.
Move the control handle forward until
this linkage contacts the adjusting bolt in
front of it.Again try to put the control
linkage in to the control plate. Do not
adjust the control linkage to make this
happen, adjust the bolt in front instead.
This adjusting bolt will now be used to
set both drive wheels to pull equally.
With the control handles fully forward,
observe which side is turning the fastest.
Extend the bolt rear ward to slow the
travel of that side until they are pulling
the same on both sides.
