Adjust Traction Pedal for Neutral
The rear wheels should not rotate in either direction
when the traction pedal is in the neutral position. The
traction pedal linkage should return to the neutral posi-
tion quickly when the traction pedal is released, and the
traction pump lever must be at full stroke when the trac-
tion pedal is pushed to the fully forward position.
1. Make sure hydraulic oil is at normal operating tem-
perature by operating the machine for approximately ten
(10) minutes. Make sure the hydraulic tank is full.
2. Park machine on a level surface, stop engine, en-
gage parking brake.
3. Make sure the traction linkage is not worn, damaged,
or binding. Repair or replace components as necessary.
4. Raise and support machine so rear wheels are off
the ground (see Jacking Instructions in Chapter 1 −
Safety).
CAUTION
Use caution when adjusting traction pedal. The
traction unit wheels may be rotating during the
adjustment procedure.
5. Have an assistant sit in the operators seat, start en-
gine and disengage parking brake.

either direction when traction pedal is in the neutral posi-
tion.
