Recently purchased 977K s/n 11K3817. Dumb question, is there an actual owners manual for these machines? I looked on Ebay and could only find service and parts manuals for sale. Also it seems like the brakes are engaging before the steering clutches are released. What's the procedure to correct this? Its been a long time since I ran one and can remember the pedal going about half way down before the brake would begin to stop the track. Thanks for any advice.

its called the OMI operators maintenance instruction. if your a financial member of acmoc you could check the members library.

"i reject your reality and substitute my own" - adam savage. i suspect my final words maybe "well shit, that didnt work"

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality

You can check the contents of the library without being a member, but you have to be a member to display the document itself.

[quote="catfan post=237776 userid=1544"] is there an actual owners manual for these machines?

Not for the 977K alone. It covers the 955, 977 and 983. It's not called an OMI its simply titled "Operator's Guide?

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
