Neutral Adjustment

Each ground speed control lever on this unit is connected to

a transmission by a neutral linkage rod (A, Figure 30). The

Not for

15

neutral adjustment for this machine is achieved by changing

the length of the neutral linkage rods.

30

Determining if Adjustment is Necessary: If the tractor

"creeps" while the ground speed control levers are in the

NEUTRAL LOCKOUT position and the parking brake is

disengaged, then it is necessary to adjust the neutral 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 nuts (B & C) on the neutral linkage rod

(A). One nut is located by the ground speed control lever

(B) and the other nut is located by the transmission (C).

Loosen the nuts from the ball joints and turn the linkage

rod to adjust.

• If the machine creeps forward, turn the rod

clockwise (while standing at the rear of the machine

facing forward);

• If the machine creeps backwards, turn the rod

counter-clockwise (while standing at the rear of the

machine facing forward).

3. Lock the nuts against the ball joints when neutral is

achieved.

Note:The adjustment should not be performed while the

machine is running. It may take several attempts to achieve

neutral, depending on how much the machine creeps.

Return-to-Neutral Adjustment

Prior to performing this procedure the Neutral Adjustment

Procedure must be completed.

WARNING

To avoid serious injury, perform adjustments only with

engine stopped, key removed, and tractor parked on level

ground.

1. Position the ground speed control levers into the

NEUTRAL LOCKOUT position

2. Loosen the set collar (A, Figure31) on the neutral return

rod (B).

31

3. Position the set collar along the neutral return rod until it

contacts and very lightly compresses the neutral return

spring (C).

4. Move the ground speed control levers into the operating

position, pull rearward, and release.

5. Move the ground speed control levers out towards the

NEUTRAL LOCKOUT position.

• if the ground speed control lever aligns with the notch

in the neutral lock plate, adjustment is complete;

• if the ground speed control lever stops it's return

motion past the notch (while standing at the rear of

the machine), re-position the set collar so the neutral

return spring is less compressed.

• if the ground speed control lever stops it's return

motion before the notch (while standing at the rear

of the machine), re-position the set collar so that the

neutral return spring is more compressed.

6. Repeat the process as necessary until the ground speed

control lever aligns with the notch in the neutral lock

plate.

Note:It is important to note that after every adjustment of

the neutral return rod, the lever must be pulled rearward and

released to properly check the return-to-neutral position.

Neutral Lockout Adjustment

Prior to adjusting the neutral lockout, the neutral and return-

to-neutral must be properly adjusted.

1. Park the unit on a flat, level surface such as a concrete

floor. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake, turn

the ignition switch to OFF, and remove the ignition key.

2. Chock the wheels of the unit to prevent movement.

3. Raise the seat to gain access to the neutral lockout

components.

4. Loosen the jam nuts (A, Figure 32) on the neutral lockout

bolts (B).

32

5. Engage the parking brake. The neutral lockout bolts will

enter the notches of the neutral lockout plates (C).

6. Position the neutral lockout bolts to the center of the

notches of the neutral lockout plates.

7. Re-tighten the jam nuts.

Purging the Air from the Hydraulic

System

Due to the effects air has on efficiency in hydraulic drive

systems, it is critical that it be purged from the system.

These purge procedures should be implemented any time a

hydraulic system has been opened to facilitate maintenance

or any additional oil has been added to the system.

The resulting symptoms of air in the hydraulic system may be:

• Noisy operation.

• Lack of power or drive after short term operation.

• High operation temperature and excessive expansion of

oil.

Before starting, make sure the transaxles/transmissions are

at the proper oil levels. If it is not, fill to the specifications

outlined in the Check / Fill Transmission Oil Level procedure.

Purging Air from the Hydraulic System:

1. Chock the front wheels to prevent the machine from

rolling. Raise the rear of the machine so that the vehicle’s

rear tires do not contact the ground. Position jack stands

under the rear bumper of the machine to secure it.

2. Open the transaxle’s bypass valves (see Uncrating for

the location and function of the bypass valves), start

the engine, release the parking brake, and slowly move

the zero-turn rider’s ground speed control levers in both

forward and reverse directions (5 to 6 times), as air is

purged from the unit, the oil level will drop.

3. Stop the engine and engage the parking brake.

4. Close the transaxle’s bypass valves, start the engine,

release the parking brake, and slowly move the zero-turn

rider’s ground speed control levers in both forward and

reverse directions (5 to 6 times), as air is purged from the

unit, the oil level will drop.

5. Stop the engine. Remove the jack stands from

underneath the machine.

6. Repeat the process detailed above but with the unit's

drive wheels on the ground. The procedure should be

performed in an area free of any objects or bystanders.

It may be necessary to repeat the process detailed above

until all the air is completely purged from the system. When

the transaxles/transmissions operate at normal noise levels

and move smoothly forward and reverse at normal speeds,

then the transaxles/transmissions are considered purged.

Parking Brake Adjustment

The parking brake mechanism consists of a two parking

brake cables, with a spring on both ends, that routes from the

transmission to the parking brake lever shaft. The position of

the parking brake cables and the compressed length of the

lower springs located by the transmissions are factory preset

and should not be changed for parking brake adjustment

procedures. The adjustment is achieved by changing the

compressed spring length of the upper parking brake springs.

1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake, stop the

engine, and chock the tires.

2. Raise the seat plate.

3. Locate the parking brake springs (A, Figure33)



33

4. With the parking brake engaged measure the

compressed spring length. The spring should

measure2-1/4" (5,7 cm)when compressed.

5. If the spring length is not 2-1/4" (5,7 cm), release

the parking brake, and turn the adjustment nut (B) to

compress or release the spring.



CAUTION

Do not adjust the spring to be shorter than 2" (5,1 cm) when

compressed. This may damage the brake mechanism.

6. Engage the parking brake and re-measure the spring.

If this does not correct the braking problem, see your

dealer.
