Neutral Adjustment
The steering levers are equipped with a spring centering
device called a hydroback. The hydroback returns the
steering lever to neutral position when the steering levers
are not being operated.
This feature automatically keeps the loader in neutral
whenever the engine is started, or when the control levers
are released.
If the loader creeps, or is not in neutral, when the engine
is started or the steering lever is released from forward or
reverse position, the hydroback device may need to be
adjusted, repaired or replaced.
1 Raise the boom arms, engage the boom support pins
and shut off the engine. Raise and block the loader
securely off the ground.
2 Remove the seat and hydrostatic shield.(fig. C3557)
Note the location of the hydroback. (fig. C3556)
3 Cycle the control lever while watching the hydroback
action. The hydroback should return the lever to a neutral
position.
4 Check the rod ends on each end of the hydroback.
They must be free of any play. Replace the rod ends if
any play or slack is noticed. (fig. C3555)
5 If the control lever is able to move slightly without
spring tension returning it to neutral, the hydroback needs
adjusted.
