The traction pedal should reach full stroke at the same
time it makes contact with the stop. If it does not,
perform the following procedure:
1. Park the machine on a level surface, stop the engine,
and lower the cutting units to the floor. Remove the
ignition key.
2. Check the traction pedal stop adjustment. The
distance from the top of the stand to the top of
the stop must be 1-1/2 inch (38 mm) (Figure 66).
Loosen the nuts and adjust, as required.
