Automatic Controlled Traction (ACT)
Automatic Controlled Traction (ACT) applies a preset amount
of torque to both rear wheels even if one starts to slip. A
transmission without ACT will lose traction completely if one
rear wheel starts to slip. This preset torque is just enough to
give additional traction, and still let the wheels turn at different
speeds in a tight turn without damage to the lawn.
Under certain circumstances, the ACT system limit can be
exceeded, and one of the rear tires may slip. For example, if
you turn up a hill, when you accelerate. This is normal. If you
start to lose traction, do not speed up. Instead, slow to stop,
straighten the steering wheel, and slowly accelerate. Stopping
the tractor lets the transmission get more traction.
