Adjusting The Directional Control Return Spring

You may encounter “creeping” problems from time to

time. Creeping means the machine moves backward

or forward when the forward/reverse pedal is in

neutral. A grinding noise when the engine is shut down

is also an indicator that the directional control return

spring needs adjusting. If this occurs, perform the

procedure which follows:

1. Turn off the engine, engage the parking brake

and chock both wheels.

2. Jack the rear of the machine so that the rear

tire just clears the oor. Use two jack stands to

support the machine.

WARNING

DO NOT USE A JACK ALONE TO HOLD THE

MACHINE!!!

3. Locate the forward / reverse adjustment bracket

mounted beneath the pump on the pump

mounting plate.
