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 disengage.
To adjust turn the knob on the end of the handle. For further ad-
justment 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 12 to 15 as per gauge 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 12 to 15. Tighten bolt on tensioner.
