To adjust “In” position of the steering controls:
1. Move the levers inboard to the operating position.
Adjust the steering lever stops until the steering
levers have the desired clearance.
To adjust for straight forward tracking:
1. Drive tractor with both control levers in the full
forward position.
2. Stop the machine and shut off the engine.
3. Adjust the forward stop of the control lever on
the side which appears to be faster to limit the
forward travel of the control levers until the
mower tracks in a straight line.
Note: Variations in the turf and tire pressure
can cause variations in speed and
tracking.
When all alignment adjustments are satisfactory, slide
the hold down plate and bellows down the control levers
and secure with screws.
