Automatic Controlled Traction
What is Automatic Controlled Traction?
Automatic Controlled Traction (ACT) is an exclusive
feature of our transmissions that provides improved
traction. ACT applies a preset amount of torque to both
rear wheels even if one starts slipping (a transmission
without ACT will lose traction completely if one rear
wheel starts slipping). This preset torque is just enough
to provide additional traction, and still allow the wheels to
turn at different speeds in a tight turn without damaging
the lawn.
What to Expect from Your ACT Tractor
For the most part, while using your tractor you will not no-
tice ACT working, and you will simply become accustomed
to increased traction an ACT transmission provides.
Under certain circumstances the ACT system limit can
be exceeded, and one of the rear wheels may slip (for
instance if trying to turn up a hill while accelerating). This
is normal. If you start to lose traction, do not speed up.
Instead, slow to a stop, straighten the steering wheel, and
slowly accelerate. Stopping the tractor allows the trans-
mission to regain more traction.
12 Volt Power Outlet
The 12-volt accessory plug is located in the left side pod.
It can be used to power small electronic devices. The ac-
cessory must be rated at 9 amps or less.
NOTICE: Operating a 12-volt accessory, especially with
the engine at idle, may cause battery discharge. When
not using the accessory plug it must be covered with the
rubber plug to prevent moisture from causing a short circuit.
Entrance of water into plug can cause a short circuit.
