PARKING BRAKE
NOTE:
There are two brakes, one on each trans-
axle.
The parking brake should keep the machine from
moving. To check the parking brake, park the ma-
chine on a level surface, open the bypass valves and
set the parking brake to
PARK
. Attempt to move the
machine forward and backward by pushing it. If the
machine moves, adjust the parking brake linkage as
follows:
1. Move the machine to a flat horizontal surface.
2. Move the parking brake handle to the
PARK
position.
4. Loosen Nut
K
. Tighten brake locknut
N
as
needed to engage brake. Loosen brake locknut
N
as needed to disengage brake sooner.
5. Retest to insure the machine does not move.
TRACKING CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
Tracking adjustment allows for the traction handles
to be even with each other when pressed all the way
forward. This adjustment works in transport speed.
Only use tracking adjustment if it is required to “steer”
the machine straight.
To adjust:
1. Remove rider pad and locate the tracking ad-
justment knobs on the control mounting brack-
ets of the machine. Turn both tracking adjust-
ment knobs counter clockwise until they stop.
2. Gently push both traction control handles all
the way forward with transport speed selected.
Turn the tracking adjustment knob clockwise
until it touches the corresponding control arm so
the tracking adjustment knob limits the stroke of
the traction lever rather than the control stops
on the hydrostat. Repeat for the other side.
3. Find a suitable level and open area. Get on
the machine and start the engine. Run it at half
throttle for better control.
4. Point the machine in a safe direction and drive
it with both traction handles pushed completely
forward. If the machine drives straight you are
done. If the machine drifts from a straight line
proceed to step 5.
5. Stop the machine, move the traction levers to
the neutral position and set the parking brake.
Turn the tracking knob on the outside of the drift
1/6 turn clockwise.
6. Drive the machine again and repeat the adjust-
ment until the machine drives straight.
