4.2WHEEL DRIVE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT

1.To check wheel drive control for correct adjustment, hold blade control against upper handle and pull wheel drive control backward slightly to remove any slack in wheel drive control cable. The wheel drive control is properly adjusted when the two 1/8” diameter holes, located at the connection point of wheel drive control and the blade control are aligned. See Figure 4.4.

2.If holes are not aligned, follow procedure in Step 1 hold both controls in that position. See Figure 4.5.

IMPORTANT: If machine creeps forward after wheel drive control is released the cable is too tight and must be readjusted to eliminate all forward movement. Machine must not have any forward movement when wheel drive control is disengaged. If the wheel drive control fails to return quickly to the “OFF” position when released, check for a broken, binding, or kinked cable.
