start the engine.
2. Move the lever to position where trac¬
tor remains stationary. This is neutral
position.
3. Stop the engine.

causing short circuit or sparks with
tools.

can be adjusted. Loosen the two self¬
tapping screws and move the quadrant
so the lever is in neutral notch. Then
tighten the two screws.

check again. If the tractor still creeps in
