Once the travel lever has veen set to neutral position with the
engine running, the hydraulic brake is is operating and the roller
should not move. If the roller inches forward or backwards with
the lever in the neutral position, turn-buckle of the cable should
be adjusted as follows:
1. Stop the engine and set the travel lever in the neutral
position.
2. Unscrew the two lock nuts on the sides of the cable (Figures
38 and 39).
3. If the machine moves forward, screw the turn-buckle
clockwise. If the machine moves backwards, screw the turn-
buckle counterclockwise (Figure 40).
4. Screw back the lock nuts on the turn-buckle.
5. Start the engine and make sure that the roller does not inch
forward or backward at the neutral position of the travel
lever.
