Piston Pump Neutral - Adjust
This adjustment is only necessary under any of the following conditions.
- The pump has been rebuilt.
- A track starts to turn when the speed and direction control is in the NEUTRAL position and the pump has been calibrated.
This adjustment requires a mechanical adjustment and a hydraulic adjustment. You must perform the mechanical adjustment before you perform the hydraulic adjustment.

- Adjust the set screw until the pressure at the "X1" port is within 200 kPa (30 psi) of the pressure of the "X2" port.
- Maintain the position of the set screw while you tighten the lock screw.
- Verify that the pressures of the two ports are within 200 kPa (30 psi) of each other.
- Stop the engine.
- Exchange the gauges of the two ports.
- Start the engine.
- Verify that the pressures of the two ports are within 200 kPa (30 psi) of each other.
- Stop the engine.
Note: This adjustment is sensitive and the adjustment can easily change as you tighten the lock screw.
- Remove the gauges and hoses.
