Carefully check the traction drive and adjust it
properly, if necessary.
Important:
If the machine moves when the
traction lever is disengaged, check and adjust the
traction cable; refer to
Checking the Broom Drive

If the ground speed is too fast, debris or
snow will pile up in front of the broom causing
the broom to plow instead of sweep. This can
damage the bristles and the drive line.
2. Slowly squeeze the traction-drive lever to the
left handle (
Figure 14 ).
Note:
Hold down the traction-drive lever against
the handle to engage the traction drive for both
