Step 3
  1. Loosen one of the return to neutral screws on either side of the pump. See Figure 29.
Step 4

  2. Start engine, move throttle lever to fast position and release parking brake.
  3. Move steering levers forward and backward 5 or 6 times and then return levers to neutral position.
Steps 8 - 11
  1. Check wheels hubs for rotation:
    • If there is only slight rotation, stop engine, reinstall wheels and return unit to operating position.
    • If there is excessive rotation, repeat steps 3 — 5.
  2. Repeat steps 3 — 8 on opposite side.
  3. Secure control linkages to hydro-pump using original hardware.
