Introduction
This manual assumes all clutch and brake adjustments have been made, and that
transmission control linkages are in good serviceable condition.
Worn parts, broken or weak springs, fasteners, and bushings should be replaced as
necessary before attempting to make adjustments.
It is possible during adjustments to place yourself in a position which is more
hazardous than when the unit is in normal operation.
Safety is a matter of common sense . . . a matter of thinking before acting.
Familiarize yourself with the product and pay special attention to all safety warnings.
These adjustments are meant to minimize creep when controls are placed in the neutral
position.
Hydrostatic transmissions should never be relied upon to hold a tractor in a parked
position. The parking brake should be set and engine stopped whenever leaving the
tractor.
NOTE: PUSHING THE TRACTOR BY HAND
1. Disengage the PTO and turn the engine off.
2. Move the transmission release lever to PUSH position.
The tractor can now be pushed by hand. Towing the tractor with another vehicle is not
recommended, as the transmission may be damaged.
When making adjustment, keep hands, hair, clothing, and tools away from rotating
belts. Careless or improper attention may result in serious injury.
