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 6 mm (1/4 inch) from the front of
the slot to the front edge of the pin ( Checking the Traction
Cable (page 16)).
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 (Figure 19).
