4.13 STEERING CONTROL NEUTRAL
ADJUSTMENT
If the unit has excessive creep when the control levers
are in neutral, adjust as follows: (Figure 10)
1. If hydraulic system is cold, run unit for a minimum
of five minutes, then shut off unit.
2. Make sure both control levers are in neutral. Raise
hood (260Z).
3. With the unit up to and facing a wall, jack the unit
up so that both drive wheels are off the ground.
4. Have someone depress center of seat to activate
seat switch.
5. Start the engine and run at about half throttle or
faster. Release parking brake.
6. Move the control levers from Forward to Reverse
several times to make sure controls are free and
check Neutral adjustment. If binding is found,
correct it.
7. Minor adjustments may be made by simply
adjusting the stop screw which contacts the lever
on the pump. The screw may be turned in or out to
bring the unit into neutral.
8. If major adjustment is needed, it is best to remove
the front ball joint from the bottom of the control
levers and turn the stop screw in or out until neutral
is found.
9. Then, with the adjustable arms of the parking
brake interlock positioned so the clamping bolt is in
the middle of the slot, adjust the ball joint on or off
the control link rod so that their mounting bolts fit
into the slot at the end of the adjustable interlock.
10.Reinstall the front ball joint(s).
NOTE:
When properly adjusted, the parking brake
interlock will move upward when the parking brake is
set and hold the steering control levers in neutral. The
parking brake starting interlock switch will not be
depressed unless the steering control levers are in
neutral. The interlock holds the levers in neutral until
the parking brake is released.
11.Move the control levers, from forward to reverse
several times to make sure it is adjusted to neutral.
Readjust if necessary.
12.Stop the engine.
4.14 ADJUSTING CONTROL LEVERS
To be done after neutral has been set. (Figure 10).
1. If desired the steering control levers can be set to
match (be in line) when in neutral.
2. Remove front ball joint from bottom of steering
control lever on side which is going to be adjusted.
Screw ball joint on or off link rod to hydrostat so
that control levers align. Replace rod end on lower
part of steering control lever.
3. If needed, adjust parking brake interlock so that
interlock is able to move up when both steering
control levers are in neutral. To do this, loosen the
clamping bolt on the adjustable member of the
interlock and slide it in either direction until the
interlock moves up and latches the ball joint
mounting bolts.
WARNING:
This adjustment requires
operation of the engine and opening of hood.
Use extreme care to avoid contact with
moving parts and hot surfaces. Be sure rear
of unit is well supported and secure before
starting engine.
