If the machine has recently had the hydraulic
fluid changed or the traction motors or hoses replaced,
work out any air trapped in the system prior to
performing this procedure. To do this, operate the
machine in forward and reverse for a few minutes and
then replenish the oil as required.
Note:
When positioned on a level surface, the
machine must not creep when you release the traction
pedal.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, engage the
parking brake, lower the cutting unit to the floor,
and shut off the engine.
2. Jack up the rear of the machine until the rear
tires are off the shop floor. Support the machine
with jack stands to prevent it from falling.
Note:
On 4-wheel-drive models, the front tires
must also be off the shop floor and supported
by jack stands.

The engine must be running so that you
can perform this adjustment. This could
cause personal injury.
Keep your hands, feet, face, and other
body parts away from any hot parts of
the engine and any rotating parts.
