ADJUSTMENTS

(CONTINUED)

WHEEL ‘CREEP’ ADJUSTMENT

‘Creep’ is when engine is running and hydrostatic transmis-
sion 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 disen-
gage.

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 tight-
ening 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.
