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.
To Adjust the Handle Alignment
Loosen the mount bolts (A, Figure 33) and pivot the lever(s) (C)
to align with each other.
33
To Adjust the Handle Placement
Loosen the jam nuts and adjust the placement bolt (B) in or out
to properly adjust the lever end spacing.
To Adjust the Handle Height
Remove the mounting hardware 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 position, the top speed of
each of these levers can be balanced by turning the adjustment
bolt(s) (A, Figure 34). Only adjust the speed of the wheel that is
traveling faster.
34
To Reduce the Speed of the Faster Wheel
1. Loosen the securing nut (B).
2. Turn the top speed adjustment bolt counter-clockwise to
reduce the speed.
3. Retighten the securing nut when adjustment is complete.
WARNING
DO NOT adjust the tractor for a faster overall speed
forward or reverse than it was designed for.
Checking Tire Pressures
Tire pressure should be checked periodically, and maintained
at the levels shown in the Specifications chart. Note that these
pressures may differ slightly from the "Max Inflation" stamped
on the side-wall of the tires. The pressures shown provide proper
traction and extend tire life.
Seat Adjustment
The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Move the lever (A,
Figure 35) towards the left, position the seat as desired, and
release the lever to lock the seat into position.
