Drive SystemMaintenanceAdjusting the Transmissionfor NeutralIf the machine creeps when the traction control pedal is inthe neutral position, the neutral return mechanism must beadjusted.1. Block up under the frame so that one of the frontwheels is off of the floor.Note: Note: If machine is equipped with a 3 wheeldrive kit, also raise and block rear wheel.2. Start the engine, move the throttle to Slow, and checkthe front wheel that is off of the floor; it must not berotating.3. If the wheel is rotating, stop the engine and proceedas follows:A. Loosen the nut securing the eccentric to the topof the hydrostat (Figure 53).g01461612Figure 531. Eccentric 2. LocknutB. Move the functional control lever to Neutral andthe throttle to Slow. Start the engine.C. Rotate the eccentric until creep does not occur ineither direction. When the wheel stops rotating,tighten the nut locking the eccentric and theadjustment (Figure 53). Verify the adjustmentwith the throttle in the Slow and Fast position.Note: If the wheel still turns when the eccentricis at the maximum adjustment, contact yourAuthorized Service Distributor or refer to theService Manual for further adjustment.Adjusting the Transport SpeedThe traction pedal is adjusted for maximum transport speedat the factory, but an adjustment may be required if the pedalreaches full stroke before it contacts the pedal stop, or if adecrease in transport speed is desired.Press down on the traction pedal. If the pedal contactsthe stop (Figure 54) before tension is felt on the cable, anadjustment is required:g0154941Figure 541. Pedal stop1. Loosen flangehead locknuts securing the pedal stop tothe floor plate (Figure 54).2. Adjust the pedal stop so it contacts the pedal rod andtighten the nuts.43
