" 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 fol-
lowing procedures 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 bottom of the hydrostatic transmission

is the shift arm (A). Loosen bolts (B).

3. With engine running move stop (C) so it moves shift arm (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.
