VEHICLE CREEP
Description

This is considered normal until the drive belt is “broken-in” (approximately 15 hours of use). Creep can also be
introduced or worsened by incorrectly adjusting the accelerator cable and/or tampering with the governor.
Definitions
Normal:
Considered as walking pace (3 MPH) or less.
Abnormal:
Considered as greater than walking pace (3 MPH). Other symptoms include difficulty or inability to
shift into or out of gear.
