Adjusting the Traction Cable

If the machine does not drive in the forward or reverse
speeds or it drives when you release the traction lever,
adjust the traction cable.
With the traction lever disengaged, check the pin in the
elongated slot in the left side of the machine above
the tire.
There should be a gap of 1/4" (6 mm) from the front
of the slot to the front edge of the pin ("Checking the
Traction Cable") (page 2-6).
If the left hand traction cable is not properly adjusted, do
the following steps:
1. Loosen the jam nut.
2. Loosen or tighten the turnbuckle to adjust the pin
until it is the proper gap from the front edge of
the slot.
3. Tighten the jam nut (Fig. 010).
