Pump Adjustments
Hydraulic Neutral Adjustment
The hydrostatic pump is controlled with a hydraulic servo
control valve that uses oil from the charge pump to move the
servo piston. This valve is held in the centered neutral
position by the displacement control assembly. In the
neutral position, the charge pump oil is supplied to both ends
of the servo piston. To prevent the machine from moving
with the control levers in neutral, the hydraulic servo control
valve must be properly adjusted. Use the following proce-
dure to adjust the hydraulic servo control valve:
1. Raise and securely block the unit off the ground.
2. Disconnect the connector from the Neutral Override
Solenoid on the hydrostatic pump. The connector
must be removed.
3. Connect a jumper wire form the Neutral Override
Solenoid terminal (3) to ground, as shown.
4. Connect the opposite terminal of the Neutral Override
Solenoid to a 12 volt power source (2).
5. Start and run the engine at full throttle.
6. Loosen the lock nut for the servo control neutral
adjusting screw. Loosen the jam nut and use a
wrench to rotate the neutral adjusting screw in one
direction until the tires just begin to rotate in one
direction and note the position of the screw. Rotate
the neutral adjusting screw in the opposite direction
until the tires just beginning to rotate in opposite
direction and note the position of the screw. Repeat
the above steps to assure that the proper adjusting
screw position was noted. Center the neutral adjust-
ing screw between the marks and tighten the jam nut.
Securely hold the adjusting screw in position when
tightening the jam nut to prevent movement.
7. After the neutral adjusting screw has been secured in
position, gradually move the pump control lever away
from the centered position in both directions. The
servo control neutral adjusting screw is properly
adjusted when an even amount of lever travel is
required to begin the tire rotation in both directions.
8. Stop the engine.
9. Remove the jumper wires and reconnect the neutral
override solenoid connector.
NOTE:
If the other drive requires adjustment, repeat steps
through 7 for that pump.
