ADJUSTMENTS
(CONTINUED)
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 procedures to stop
this motion.
1. Lift up and support machine so all wheels are off the ground and can turn
freely.
2. On the side of the pump there is a creep arm inside a centering arm. Loosen
bolt (A).
3. With engine running adjust the creep arm up or down in slot so centering arm
centers on the swash arm.
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.
PARK BRAKE
The park brake is located on the right hand side of the machine and operates a brake on
the right rear wheel. Push lever forward to engage and pull back to disengage.
To adjust turn the knob on the end of the handle. For further adjustment you may turn
the yokes (A) clockwise to tighten and counter clockwise to loosen.
ADJUSTMENT OF BELT TENSIONER
The belt tensioner controls the tension on the belt
from the engine to the pump. The proper tension of
the idler should be in the second notch on the side of
the tensioner. Over tightening the belt will shorten the
life of the belt and the machine may not perform to
the best of its ability. To adjust belt tensioner, loosen
the bolt holding the tensioner (A). Bring idler pulley
tight to the belt and turn tensioner into belt to the
second notch. Tighten bolt on tensioner.
