Operating Instructions
Return to Neutral
If the mower creeps or will not stop as desired
when the handles are in neutral position,
adjustments are necessary.
CAUTION: Be sure the engine is OFF before
you open the hydro access panel.
1. Remove the bolts to
access hydro panel.
2. Using an 8 mm
wrench, reach through
the bottom of the hydro
panel to the return-to-
neutral set pin bolts.
Loosen bolts on the
side that needs
adjusting.
3. Be sure the brake is in
the OFF position. In a safe operator position,
start the engine.
4. With the engine running, slowly move the
handle on the side needing adjustment until
that side comes to a complete stop. If the
mower creeps forward, pull handle in reverse,
If the mower creeps backward, pull the handle
forward.
5. When the mower stops moving completely the
hydro is in the neutral position.
6. Turn off the engine.
7. Slowly tighten the bolts without moving the
plate.
8. With the bolts tightened, move to a safe
operator position and start the engine.
9. If the creep has returned, repeat the process.
Multiple iterations may be
required.
DANGER! Make certain the engine comes to a
complete stop before putting you hands in the
access panel.
10. Reinstall hydro access panel.
Disengaging Hydrostatic Drive Units
Before physically moving the mower when the engine
is NOT running, the hydrostatic drive units need to be
disengaged into free-wheel mode.
To
disengage these hydro units:
1. Remove the hydro tool stored under the hydro
unit.
2. Use the hook on the
hydro tool to pull the
hydro release pin back
and out. Repeat on the
other side. It may be
necessary to bump the
hydro carrier forward for
easier free-wheeling.
CAUTION! Never bump, hit
or push the actual hydros.
To return to operation mode:
1. Slide the hydro tool
through the hydro
tensioner. Pull until the
pin sets. Repeat on the
other side. If the pin
partially sets, tap the pin.
2. Replace the hydro tool to storage under the
hydro unit.
