MAINTENANCE
Horse Power Management
Description
Horsepower management automatically increases or decreases
pressure to the hydrostatic transmission to sustain engine rpm
and maintain optimum drive performance.
Avoid Serious Injury Or Death.
• Always keep bystanders away from the work area and travel path.
• The operator must always look in the direction of travel.
Inspection and Maintenance
Test conditions: Air Con-
ditioning off, no weight in
cargo box, operator only.
no attachment, no signifi-
cant electrical loads:
In a controlled area, free
of bystanders and on a
flat level hard surface.
Start the engine. See page
41. Operate the machine
until engine and hydrau-
lics are at operating tem-
perature. Move the gear
selector lever to high. Traveling in a straight path, accelerate at
a high rate and monitor engine RPM. The engine RPM will
increase moderately and then increase quickly to approxi-
mately 3200 - 3700 RPM and maintain this RPM. If engine
speed does not meet this RPM range after 5 seconds of opera-
tion, contact your dealer for service.
If less responsive horsepower management is desired (i.e.:
increased engine lugging during operation), see your dealer for
adjustment.
Tip: Adjustments to the horsepower management systems are not
considered a defect and therefore are not a warrantable item.
