57.5.3 Traction Drive Adjustments
DANGER
Stop engine and remove key from ignition
before leaving operator's seat for any
reason. A child or even a pet could engage
an idling machine.
57.5.3.1 GSL Fore-Aft Movement
The GSL should remain as positioned by the
operator and yet can be moved without
excessive force. The spring is set at the factory
to 2.50 in. (64 mm) shown on the illustration. If
necessary, adjust as follows:
a. Hold nut (A) from turning and loosen jam-nut
(B).
b. To increase the pivot resistance, turn the nut (A)
clockwise to compress the spring.
c. To decrease the resistance, turn the nut (A)
counterclockwise to release the spring tension.
d. Hold nut (A) from turning and tighten jam-nut
(B).
57.5.3.2 Neutral Interlock Checks
A properly functioning system should operate as
follows:
• The starter should engage ONLY
when the
GSL is in N-DETENT, steering wheel locked
in the CENTER position, and the header
drive switch is in the OFF position.
• Under the above conditions, the brake
should engage and the machine should not
move after engine start-up.
• The steering wheel should not lock with the
engine running and the GSL is out of the N-
DETENT.
• The machine should not move with the
engine running and with the steering wheel
still centered, when the GSL is pulled
straight out of N-DETENT (not in forward or
reverse).
Any problem with the neutral lock and steering
controls could be caused by loose, worn, or
improperly adjusted parts. Perform the following
checks if the neutral interlock system is not
functioning as described above. See Table next
page.
IMPORTANT
When servicing this area, it is important to
perform all
of the checks to avoid missing
the problem and providing only a
temporary fix.
