WHEEL CREEP
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 hydrostat pump there is a "creep arm" or a ball bearing inside a
centering arm. Loosen bolt (A).
3. With engine running adjust the creep arm in the 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.
STORAGE
When storing, remove the key from the key switch to avoid unauthorized persons from operating machine.
1. Before storing clean machine thoroughly.
2. Check bolts and nuts, tighten as necessary.
3. Make all repairs that are needed and remove any debris.
4. Remove the battery, adjust the electrolyte level and recharge it. Store the battery in a dry, dark place.
5. Store in a clean and dry area, but NOT near a stove, furnace or water heater which uses a pilot light or any
device that can create a spark.
6. Engines stored over 30 days need to be protected or drained of fuel to prevent gum from forming in a fuel
system or on essential carburetor parts. Check the engine manual and follow the instructions for the
storage of the engine.
