Adjusting The Transmission For Neutral; Adjusting The Transport Speed - Toro 04383 Operator's Manual

2. Loosen the jam nut and adjust the clevis accordingly
(Fig. 49).

3. Assemble the clevis to the brake shaft (Fig. 49).
4. Check the amount of free travel of the brake pedal when
the adjustment is completed. There should be 1/2 to 1
in. (13 to 25 mm) travel before the brake shoes make
contact with the brake drums. Readjust, if necessary, to
achieve this setting.
5. Drive the machine and depress the brake pedal; both
brakes should lock equally. Adjust if necessary.
6. It is recommended that the brakes be burnished
annually; refer to Break-In Period, page 26.
Adjusting the Transmission for
Neutral
If the machine creeps when the traction control pedal is in
the neutral position, the neutral return mechanism must be
adjusted.
1. Block up under the frame so that one of the front
wheels is off of the floor.
Note: If machine is equipped with a 3 wheel drive kit, also
raise and block rear wheel.
2. Start the engine, move the throttle to Slow, and check
the front wheel that is off of the floor; it must not be
rotating.
3. If the wheel is rotating, stop the engine and proceed as
follows:
A. Loosen both jam nuts securing the traction control
cable to the bulkhead on the hydrostat (Fig. 50).
Make sure the jam nuts are loosened equally and
sufficiently to allow adjustment.
B. Loosen the nut securing the eccentric to the top of
the hydrostat (Fig. 50).
C. Move the functional control lever to Neutral and the
throttle to Slow. Start the engine.

D. Rotate the eccentric until creep does not occur in
either direction. When the wheel stops rotating,
tighten the nut locking the eccentric and the
adjustment (Fig. 50). Verify the adjustment with the
throttle in the Slow and Fast position.
E. From each side of the bulkhead, tighten the locknuts
evenly, securing the traction cable to the bulkhead
(Fig. 50). Do not twist the cable.
Note: If cable tension exists when the functional control
lever is in neutral, the machine may creep when the lever is
moved to the Mow or Transport position.

Adjusting the Transport Speed

The traction pedal is adjusted for maximum transport speed
at the factory, but an adjustment may be required if the
pedal reaches full stroke before it contacts the pedal stop, or
if a decrease in transport speed is desired.
1. Press down on the traction pedal. If the pedal contacts
the stop (Fig. 51) before tension is felt on the cable, an
adjustment is required:
A. Loosen flangehead locknuts securing the pedal stop
to the floor plate (Fig. 51).
B. Adjust the pedal stop so it contacts the pedal rod and
tighten the nuts.
