1. Check traction drive neutral position to assure front
wheels do not creep; refer to "Traction Drive Neutral Ad-
justment".
2. Depress traction pedal fully. There must be 1/16 inch
(1.6 mm) between inside front edge of pedal and trian-
gular support brace. If distance is as specified, the con-
trol rod is adjusted correctly. If distance is not as
specified, proceed to step 3 for an adjustment.

move cotter pin and slotted nut retaining tapered socket
in pivot mount on bottom of traction pedal.

pered socket through traction pedal pivot mount. Then
depress pedal and check for 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) clear-
ance between front edge of pedal and top of support
brace. Adjust tapered socket until correct adjustment re-
sults.
5. After control rod is adjusted correctly, secure tapered
socket and traction pedal together with slotted nut and
cotter pin. Also tighten jam nut against front of control
rod.
