How to adjust clutch/brake on 40 inch Murray mower

How do I adjust clutch/brake. I just installed new drive motion belt and it creeps in gear with pedal depressed. #405000x8

Open up the manual and go to page 37. The illustration in the top right hand corner shows the brake bracket screws. The nut between them is the brake adjustment nut. Tight that nut 1/8 of a turn at a time and test after each adjustment.
