4.Start engine. If one or both drive wheels creep forward, turn corresponding adjustment bolt in (toward rear of mower). If drive wheels creep backwards, turn corresponding adjustment bolt out (toward front of mower).
NOTE: If the 1/8" to 3/16" gap between speed control actuator and speed control stop can not be maintained as neutral adjustments are made, it will be necessary to adjust the length of the control rod (Step 2). Increasing the length of the control rod, decreases the gap. Shortening the control rod, increases the gap.
