idle.
Repeat opening and closing the disengaged
clutch control whilst the front respective rear
pedals are alternately pressed down.
When the mower starts to move set the governor

the transmission responds as it should.
Check also the oil level in the hydrostatic trans-

The neutral position is adjusted by turning the
hexagonal axle on the transmission (see dia-

Unscrew the hexagonal axle lock nut and turn
the axle clockwise until the drive shafts start to
rotate backwards.
Make a mark on the top of the axle.
