9.1 TRACTION CONTROL PEDAL __________________________________________
The MPV transmission pump has an internal neutralising
mechanism which cannot be adjusted. If the machine does
however creep carry out the following.
1. Lift and support both front and rear wheels.
2. Remove ball joint A from pump lever B to allow
pump to find neutral position.
3. Start engine, manually move the pump control
lever and release to ensure wheels stop rotating.
If wheels Do Not stop rotating with the lever in the
neutral position, contact your local dealer.
4. Operate foot pedal to ensure cable is free.
5. Reattach ball joint A to pump lever B.
6. Move the foot pedal in forward & reverse directions to ensure there is no creep in neutral position.
9.2 WEIGHT TRANSFER ADJUSTMENT ______________________________________
The weight transfer bias can be adjusted on the lift valve.
The valve is accessible from under the mower on the left
hand side behind the front axle. Park on flat level ground,
lower cutting units to the ground. Turn engine off and
remove ignition key. The centre unit will have to be swung
out of the way.
To adjust:
1. Loosen the locknut A whilst holding the threaded
shaft still with the Allen Key B.
2. Using an Allen key B rotate the threaded shaft
clockwise in direction D to increase weight onto
the drive wheels when the traction control button
is operated on the control pod. This improves
slope climbing performance. To reduce weight on
the drive wheels when the traction control button is operated on the control pod, rotate the threaded
shaft counter clockwise in direction C. This increases the ground weight of the cutting unit and will
reduce the possibility of cutting unit “bounce” when working at high speed on undulating ground. It is
recommended that the Allen key is turned a 1/4 turn at a time and the weight transfer tested.
3. Tighten locknut A. while holding the threaded shaft still with the Allen Key B.
