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 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.
