Warning
The engine must be running so a final adjustment
of the traction adjustment cam can be performed.
Contact with hot or moving parts can result in
personal injury.
Keep hands, feet, face, and other body parts away
from the muffler, other hot parts of the engine, and
other rotating parts.
4. Start the engine and rotate the cam hex in both
directions to determine the mid position of the neutral
span.
5. Tighten the locknut securing the adjustment.
6. Stop the engine.
7. Remove the support blocks and lower the machine to
the shop floor. Test drive the machine to make sure it
does not move when the traction pedal is in neutral.

Check the adjustment of the parking brake every 200 hours.
1. Loosen the set screw securing the knob to the parking
brake lever (Fig. 52).

Caring for the Battery
The battery electrolyte level must be properly maintained
and the top of the battery kept clean. lf the machine is
stored in a location where temperatures are extremely high,
the battery will run down more rapidly than if the machine
is stored in a location where temperatures are cool.
Check the electrolyte level every 25 operating hours or, if
machine is in storage, every 30 days.
Maintain the cell level with distilled or demineralized
water. Do not fill the cells above the bottom of the split ring
inside each cell. Install the filler caps with the vents
pointing to the rear (toward the fuel tank).
Danger
Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid which is a
deadly poison and causes severe burns.
• Do not drink electrolyte and avoid contact with
skin, eyes or clothing. Wear safety glasses to
shield your eyes and rubber gloves to protect
your hands.
•
Fill the battery where clean water is always
available for flushing the skin.
Keep the top of the battery clean by washing it periodically
with a brush dipped in ammonia or bicarbonate of soda
solution. Flush the top surface with water after cleaning.
Do not remove the filler caps while cleaning.
The battery cables must be tight on the terminals to provide
good electrical contact.
