3.
Start the engine and allow it to run at low idle.
4.
Adjust the jam nuts on the pump rod end to move the
pump control tube forward to eliminate forward creep or
rearward to eliminate rearward creep.
5.
After wheel rotation ceases, tighten the jam nuts to secure
adjustment.
6.
Stop the engine and release the right brake. Remove the
jack stands and lower the machine to the shop floor. Test
drive the machine to make sure it does not creep.
ADJUSTING THE SERVICE BRAKES
(Fig. 45)
Adjust the service brakes when there is more than 2.5 cm of
"free travel" of the brake pedal, or when the brakes do not work
effectively. Free travel is the distance the brake pedal moves
before braking resistance is felt.
1.
Disengage the locking pin from the brake pedals so both
pedals work independently of each other.
2.
To reduce free travel of brake pedals, tighten the brakes—
loosen the front nut on the threaded end of the brake cable.
Then tighten the rear nut to move the cable backward until
the brake pedals have 1.2–2.5 cm of free travel. Tighten
the front nuts after the brakes are adjusted correctly.
CHANGING PLANETARY GEAR DRIVE
OIL (Fig. 46)
Change the oil initially after 200 hours operation and every 800
hours, or yearly. Use high-quality SAE 85W-140 wt. gear lubri-
cation as replacement.
1.
With the machine on a level surface, position the wheel so
the check/drain plug is at its lowest position.
2.
Place the drain pan under the hub, remove the plug and
allow the oil to drain.
3.
When all oil has been drained, position the wheel so the
plug hole is at three or nine o'clock position.
4.
Place the drain pan under the brake hub on other side of
the wheel.
5.
Remove the plug from the bottom of the hub and allow the
oil to drain.
