TRACTION PEDAL / TRANSMISSION
NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT (Fig.43)
The traction pedal and transmission adjustments
are factory pre-set to assure the transmission is in
the NEUTRAL or CENTERED position. If the MULTI
PRO
®
5500 Turf Sprayer should experience "creep"
when the traction pedal is in the NEUTRAL or
CENTERED position, EMPTY THE TANK, and
adjust as follows:
1. Position vehicle on a level surface, stop
engine, engage parking brake (lock), turn engine
off, and remove key from ignition switch.
2. Raise rear wheels completely off the ground
surface and support with jack stands. Chock the
front wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling
forward or backward.
3. Remove the control linkage from the control
plate at the rod end and pull away from the control
plate.
4. Pull both control arms away from the control
plate bearings (Fig. 43). When the control plate is
adjusted correctly, the control plate WILL NOT
rotate when the control arms are pulled away.
5. If control plate IS NOT adjusted correctly,
proceed to STEP 7.
6. If control plate IS adjusted correctly, proceed
to STEP 8.
7. To adjust the control plate, loosen the two
control plate mounting bolts, so it allows the
control plate to center itself and allows the servo
control arm to move independently as shown in
Fig. 43 Retighten the two control plate mount bolts
and verify the proper adjustment by pulling both
control arms away from the control plate bearings.
The control plate SHOULD NOT ROTATE! After
proper adjustment proceed to STEP 10.
8. Make a chalk mark on the servo adjusting
screw to use as a reference point.
9. Loosen the jam nut on the servo adjusting
screw. Release the brake pedal, start the engine,
and turn the servo adjusting screw counter
clockwise until the rear wheels begin to move.
Make a chalk line on the servo housing next to
the servo screw mark to show this location. Rotate
the servo adjusting screw clockwise until the rear
wheels begin to rotate in the opposite direction.
Make a chalk mark on the servo housing next to
the servo screw mark to show this location. Turn
the servo adjusting screw to midway between
these two marks and retighten the jam nut.
10. Reattach the control linkage to the control
plate.
TESTING THE ADJUSTMENT
1. Lower the vehicle from the jack stand.
2. Start the engine and release the Parking/
Emergency Brake Pedal.
3. Verify the proper adjustment. The vehicle
SHOULD NOT experience any "creep".
If "creep" is still present, recheck the control plate
adjustment and the servo adjustment.
