The machine must not creep when traction pedal is re-
leased. If it does creep, an adjustment is required.

lower cutting units to the floor. Depress only the right
brake pedal and engage the parking brake.

tion adjustment cam (Fig. 25).
Engine must be running so final adjustment of the

from the muffler, other hot parts of the engine, and
other rotating parts.
