CHECKING AND ADJUSTING
TRACTION LINKAGE (Fig. 53)
Due to normal wear in the control linkage and
transmission, an increased amount of force may be
required to return the transmissions to neutral.
Periodically check the machine.
To Check Traction Linkage:
1 . On a large, flat open area, drive the machine at
full throttle and full traction speed.
2. Remove your foot from the traction pedal and
measure the distance required for the machine
to come to a stop.
3. If the distance required to stop is greater than
5.5 meters, an adjustment to the traction linkage
is required. Proceed to the next step.
To Adjust the Traction Linkage
1. Park the machine on a level surface, lower the
cutting units to the floor and shut off the
engine.
2. Connect the brake pedals together with the
locking pin, push both pedals down and pull the
parking brake latch out.
3. Loosen the outer nut securing the eye bolt to
the spring anchor plate.
