HOPPER SAFETY SUPPORT
WARNING!
Make sure the Hopper Safety Support (KK) is in place whenever attempting to do any maintenance work under or near the
raised hopper. The Hopper Safety Support (KK) holds the hopper in the raised position to allow work to be performed under
the hopper. NEVER rely on the machine’s hydraulic components to safely support the hopper.
JACKING THE MACHINE
CAUTION!
Never work under a machine without safety stands or blocks to support the machine.
•When jacking the machine, do so at designated locations (Do Not jack on the hopper) – see jacking locations (44).
TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE
CAUTION!
Before transporting the machine on an open truck or trailer, make sure that…
•The machine is tied down securely - see tie-down locations (6).
•All access doors and covers are secured (tape and strap as necessary).
The machine’s drive propelling pump is manufactured with a tow valve. This valve prevents damage to the hydraulic system when the machine
is being towed/pushed short distances without use of the engine.
To access the valve, open the Engine Compartment Door (
as shown on the underside of the hydrostatic pump by reaching under the radiator. Turn the valve 90 degrees, this disengages the hydrostatic
lock between the motor and pump.
22) and lift off the Right Engine Compartment Access Panel (37). Locate the valve
CAUTION!
The hydraulic propelling pump can be damaged if the machine is towed with the valve in the normal working position (A).
Reference the illustrations below for the normal working setting (A) (vertical) and the free wheeling towing setting (B) (horizontal). Note: If the tow
valve is left in free wheeling (B) (horizontal) position the propelling pump can’t drive the machine FWD or REV. No damage will result, just re-set
valve to the normal working setting (A) (vertical). NOTE: Tow or push machine no faster than a normal walking pace (2-3 mph - 3-5 km/h) and
for short distances only. If the machine is to be moved long distances the drive wheel needs to be raised off the floor and placed on a suitable transport
dolly.

WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM
HYDROBACK DRIVE PEDAL NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT
When servicing the hydrostatic drive system, always check for any machine creeping (movement) in the neutral position. The machine must not
move in either Fwd or Rev after the drive pedal is released. If machine creeping is experienced the neutral position of the hydro back must be adjusted.
WARNING!
Use jack stands to support the machine when setting the neutral drive pedal adjustment.
1Block the front wheels. Jack up machine until the rear drive wheel is off the floor. Place supports at the rear corners of the machine.
2Remove the right side engine cover to access the hydroback adjustment bracket.
3See Figure 2. Loosen the two Lock Screws (I) that secure the moveable cable mount Bracket (J) to the chassis.
4Start the engine and observe the direction of the drive wheel rotation. Next turn the adjustment Screw (K) clockwise (CW) or counterclockwise
(CCW) to move the cable mounting bracket (in or out) enough to stop any wheel movement. The pump arm is now in neutral, tighten the two
lock screws to secure the neutral pump arm setting.
5Test the neutral adjustment by activating the drive pedal in both FWD & REV to confirm proper wheel motor control. Readjust again if neutral
setting is not repeatable. Replace the hydroback and or its linkage if a neutral adjustment can not be obtained.
6Turn the engine off then check to see that it will restart. If engine will not start the pedal sense switch is probably out of its neutral (dead band)
setting and needs to be reprogrammed. See the sense switch replacement manual section for programming instructions.
HYDROBACK CABLE ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
1Disconnect at both cable ends (foot pedal and pump arm) the Clevis (L) and Rod End (M).
2Loosen both cable anchor connector nuts.
3Slide hydroback assembly from its chassis and cable adjustment mounting brackets.
4After installing a new cable/hydroback see the hydroback pedal neutral adjustment instructions.
1Raise hopper and engage safety support.
2Open broom-housing door (LH or RT) and remove the top gasket seal (so not to damage). Place jack towards front of housing and jack on
machine frame to where the front wheel clears the floor.
3Place safety blocking under the front frame member to support.
4Remove the Wheel Screw (A) then work the tire off of wheel spindle. Note: the parking brake must be released to allow wheel to be removed.
Also tap on the backside of wheel with wood blocking to help loosen a stubborn stuck wheel.
5Inspect the spindle; wheel bearings and brake shoe linings for abnormal wear and replace all worn parts. A new brake shoe lining thickness
will measure 11/64 (.172) inches or 4.4 mm.
6Check for approximately one inch (25mm) of operator brake pedal free-play (see instructions below to adjust) and test drive machine for proper
operation.
FRONT BRAKE SHOE ADJUSTMENT
1Raise hopper and engage safety support.
2See Figure 1. Remove the (6) Philips Screws (B) then pull the broom Housing Skirt (C) to the side to access the brake cable clevis.
3See Figure 1 detail of clevis adjustment, length or shorten its threaded end to obtain the correct brake pedal free play. Note both brakes (LH
& RT) need to be adjusted equally.
4If the brake cable clevis adjustment does not eliminate excessive pedal travel (poor braking performance) check for worn out brake shoes
and a stretched brake cable. The ends of the brake cable at the wheels have adjustable threaded cable anchor fittings. Shorten the length
of cable wire extending out of the cable casing by adjusting the cable anchor fittings at the wheel casting pocket (inset).
BRAKE CABLE REPLACEMENT
1Follow the scrub deck removal instruction in the scrub system manual section. The removal of the deck is necessary to access the brake pedal
cable guide pulley and cable anchor points (location middle of machine under operator floor plate).
2See the brake shoe adjustment instructions above to remove the brake cable ends at the wheels.
