ADJUSTMENTS
RAKE LIFT CYLINDER
Completely lower Rake Lift. Remove cotter pin (A)
and clevis pin (B). Place attachment lift arms (C) at
1 /
16
" above cross member (D) on Rake Lift. Loosen jam
nut (E). Twist cylinder extension (F) so clevis pin end of
cylinder extension lines up with holes in attachment lift arm.
Replace clevis and cotter pins. Tighten jam nut. Raise and lower
Rake Lift to check for proper clearance.
PARK BRAKE
By turning knob on end of lever you can tighten or loosen brake a small amount. Make all adjustments on knob.
Adjusting yokes will result in cable kinking.
STEERING CHAIN
Steering sprockets (K) should be level with each other, check with straight edge.
Make any adjustments. Slide idler pulley (J) so that it is snug onto the chain.
Tighten all nuts and bolts in place.
LIFT ASSEMBLY
When it is necessary to have attachment lift dig deeper or lower into
ground, relocate cylinder rod of hydraulic cylinder which controls the lift
distances, into lower set of holes in attachment lift swing arm. This
new position forces attachment farther down.
WHEEL ‘CREEP’ ADJUSTMENT
‘Creep’ is when engine is running and hydrostatic transmission is in neutral,
but due to inadequate alignment wheels still move. Do the following proce-
dures to stop this motion.
1. Lift up and support machine so all wheels are off the ground and can
turn freely.
2. At rear of machine, on the Front of the hydrostatic transmission is the
shift mount (A). Loosen bolts (B).
3. With engine running move stop (C) so it moves shift mount (A) to
center and wheel creep stops.
4. Tighten all fasteners and test by using foot pedal linkage to see that
the "creep" is removed.
5. Turn engine off and lower machine.
