Check Traction Control Pedal
(Hydro Drive Tractors Only)
After adjusting the hydro neutral position it is
necessary to check the traction control pedal. While
pressing the control pedal full forward and full
reverse it must not contact the footrest pad before
hitting the stop(s) at the transaxle (Fig. 7).
1. If contact is made with the foot pad, before
hitting stop(s) on transaxle (Fig. 7), in either
forward or reverse directions, adjustment is
required.
2. Loosen the capscrews below the right footrest.
Slide the pedal in the slots away from the
direction that made contact with the footrest
(Fig. 8).
3. Tighten capscrews and recheck traction control
pedal for contact with stop(s) on transaxle and
footrest.
