A.The steering control levers are in the neutral position and the machine creeps forward or backward. (See Neutral Adjustment).

B.The steering control levers are in the full forward position and the mower pulls to one side or the other when traveling in a forward direction. (Tracking Adjustment, See Page 24).

3.Run the engine at full operating speed and check if the machine creeps forward or backwards.
