5.15 Direction Lever Adjustment
See Graphic: wc_gr003672
The forward/reverse control lever should have long forward travel and
short reverse travel. If the lever appears out of adjustment, it can be re-
adjusted as follows:
5.15.1 Start the engine. Place the forward/reverse control lever in the
NEUTRAL position (N). Confirm that the machine does not creep. If the
machine does creep, turn the large adjusting nut (4) on the spring-
loaded, cable centering device (5) so that the machine does not creep.
5.15.2 Stop the engine.
5.15.3 Place the forward/reverse control lever in the full FORWARD position
(F). Check the rotation of the drive pump control arm (9). In the full
FORWARD position, the drive pump control arm should rotate, in the
direction shown, as far as possible.
• If the drive pump control arm rotates as far as possible, no further
adjustment is required.
• If the drive pump control arm does not rotate as far as possible,
continue.
5.15.4 Disconnect the clevis (1) from the pivot (2).
5.15.5 Rotate the pivot so that the drive pump control arm rotates as far as
possible. With the forward/reverse control lever in the full FORWARD
position, adjust the clevis and lock nut (8) so that it can hold the drive
pump control arm in the fully rotated position. Reattach the clevis to the
pivot.
Note: If the adjustment cannot be made with the clevis alone, adjust
the linkage (10).
5.15.6 Start the engine and check the NEUTRAL position of the control lever.
• If the machine remains stationary, no further adjustment is
required.
• If the machine creeps forwards or backwards, continue.
5.15.7 Turn off the engine.
5.15.8 Adjust the nut (4) on the spring-loaded, cable centering device as
needed so that the machine remains stationary when the control lever
is in the NEUTRAL position. Start the engine and recheck for machine
creeping/movement. It may take several attempts to find the correct
position. Loosen the nuts (6) holding the cable (3) to the bracket (7)
and reposition the cable if necessary.
5.15.9 The maximum allowable reverse travel speed is 2 km/hr. Do not adjust
the direction control lever so that reverse travel speed is greater than
2 km/hr. (1.2 mph).
