GROUND SPEED CONTROL LEVER
ADJUSTMENT
The control levers can be adjusted in three ways. The
alignment of the control levers, the placement of the
levers (how close the ends are to one another) and the
height of the levers can be adjusted.
Handle Alignment
Loosen the mount hardware (A, Figure 35) and pivot the
lever(s) (C, Figure 35) fore or aft to align with each
other.
Handle Placement
Loosen the jam nuts and adjust the placement bolt (B,
Figure 35) in or out to properly adjust the lever end
spacing.
Handle Height
Remove the mounting hardware (A, Figure 35) and
reposition the handle either up or down from its original
position. You will need to readjust the handle alignment
as described above.
SPEED BALANCING ADJUSTMENT
If the rider veers to the right or left when the ground
speed control levers are in the maximum forward posi-
tion, the top speed of each of these levers can be bal-
anced by turning the adjustment bolt(s) (A, Figure 36).
Only adjust the speed of the wheel that is traveling
faster.
To Reduce the Speed of the Faster Wheel
1. Loosen the securing nut.
2. turn the top speed adjustment bolt CLOCKWISE to
reduce the speed.
3. Retighten the securing nut when adjustment is com-
plete.
