selected speed in either direction.
If
the lever does not
remain where it i s set during operation, the friction
may be increased by tightening the adjusting nut
through the access hole located in the right panel (see
Fig.

proper amount of friction i s obtained
1. With' the engine shut off, press and release the
brake pedal.
2.
Engage the parking brake by placing the lever
in the rear notch of the access plate.
3. Check the need for adjustment by moving the
speed control lever back and forth to determine
if
the
linkage can be moved from neutral toward either the
forward or ,reverse positions.
4. If
the speed control lever can be moved with
little effort toward either position as described in step
3,
shorten the length of the parking brake lever rod.
This
adjustment i s made by turning the nut on the
rear
of
the ,rod against the trunnion.
