OPERATOR PRESENT CONTROLS
The operator present (OP) controls should be
adjusted to control the operation of the plunger of
the operator present switch (located under the right
side of the control panel). Depressing OP levers F
should depress the plunger; releasing the levers
should extend it.
TO ADJUST:
1. Loosen clamp bolts on both ends G so clamps
can rotate on shaft. Loosen clamps bolts H so
OP levers are free to move in clamps.
2. Hold OP levers to handles and adjust to fit.
Tighten bolts H.
3. Rotate actuator lever to depress switch plunger.
Keep OP levers against handles and tighten bolts
G.
4. When released, the OP levers should rise and the
actuator lever should rotate away from the switch,
allowing the switch plunger to extend completely.
ADJUSTMENTS
TRACTION RODS AND WHEEL BELT TENSION -
There should be a 1/4" minimum gap between the
traction control rod and the bottom of the neutral
latch slot when the drive is engaged. If there is no
gap the rod will hold the wheel belt idler up and the
belt may slip. Too much gap makes it difficult to get
adequate braking and free-wheeling neutral when
traction lever locks are in the neutral position. The
gap may be increased from 1/4" as long as the
machine will free wheel in neutral. Increasing the
gap reduces the reach to the traction lever.
TO ADJUST:
1. Disconnect the brake rod.
2. Remove hairpin cotter from the traction control
rod next to the traction control lever.
3. Lift out the rod and turn in or out of the
turnbuckle in the required direction.
4. Refit the rod to the lever and replace the hairpin.
5. Check the gap. If it is still not 1/4", repeat the
procedure until an approximate 1/4" gap is
obtained.
