Checking and Adjusting Neutral Creep

Check neutral creep with engine running and machine on level ground. Bring control levers to the drive position releasing the park brake. Slowly move out levers in T-slot until they are retained but making sure that the brakes do not engage (Brake engagement produces audible click).

If the machine creeps forward or reverses while in this position, adjust the motion control linkages.

  1. Park machine on a flat surface. (See Parking Safely in the SAFETY section.)
