Machine Creeps Uncommanded in Neutral
Diagnosis & fix steps
LOGIC: Drive Pedal Centering Neutral Sensor Defective / Uncalibrated.
ACTION: Inspect Hall-effect neutral switch on hydrostatic drive pedal linkage. Loosen adjustment screws to center output voltage to exactly 2.50V at rest; tighten locknuts and verify zero-return spring.
Red Seal field insights
Centering Spring Fatigue: Articulated compact loaders take severe foot-pedal cycling; weakened centering return springs allow the hydrostatic swashplate to stay slightly stroked off true zero.
