4.5.6 SYMMETRY OF THE TRAVEL CONTROL
4.5.6.1 DRIVE WHEEL START OF ROTATION
ADJUSTMENT REQUIREMENTS
- Pedal adjustment is in order.
- Truck blocked up and secured so that both drive wheels can turn freely.
- Engine and traction hydraulics at operating temperature.
- Floor plate removed.
- Symmetry of speed control is in order.
CHECK
- Start the engine and release the brake.
- Slowly push down the forward pedal until the wheels begin to rotate. Measure the pedal stroke from the
neutral position to start of rotation.
- Depress the reverse pedal until the start of rotation and also measure the pedal stroke.
The pedal stroke from neutral to the start of rotation should be equal for forward and reverse. Any noticeable
difference should be corrected as follows.
- Stop the engine.
- Open the engine cover and remove the floor plate.
- Slacken the clamping screw on the travel control lever.
- Using a size 10 open-ended spanner, set the travel control shaft to the noticeable neutral range and
tighten the clamping screw.
Should there still be a noticeable difference between forward and reverse, check equal pressure and the
start of rotation. Refer to trouble-shooting procedures; adjust, if necessary.
