Toro snowblower creeps backwards at idle

Hi, I have a 3 year old Toro 1028 Power Max snowblower and after completing this years maintenance I noticed that it was creeping backwards while idle.
If I put it an any forward gear or reverse gear and move (either forward or backwards) once I take my hand off the throttle control the snowblower creeps ever so slowly backwards. Doesn't matter if I've got it in a forward or backward gear. I'm on level ground and I even turned the machine around to see if it was something as silly as gravity. Nope - always goes in reverse.
I've got the full shop manual and I've already adjusted the traction cable to spec and even tried adjusting in radically in and out - no difference at all. Still creeps.
Has anyone seen this before? Do you have any suggestions? And why does it always creep backwards even if it's in a forward gear?
