5. Accelerate the engine to full RPM. Observe the

rear tire movement, forward or reverse. If the tire is

creeping in forward or reverse, a neutral adjustment

is needed.

Note: A slight creep in reverse is OK.

6. When in neutral, the stud should be in the center of

the slot in the control arm (Fig. 048).

clockwise until the tire is slightly rotating in reverse

or not rotating at all.

8. Repeat this procedure for the other side.

9. Turn the engine OFF and safely lower unit.
