SEAT ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 24. The seat can be adjusted forward and
back. Move the lever forward, position the seat as
desired, and release the lever to lock the seat into posi-
tion.
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 hardware (A, Figure 25) and pivot the
lever(s) (C, Figure 25) to align with each other.
To Adjust the Handle Placement
Loosen the jam nuts and adjust the placement bolt (B,
Figure 25) in or out to properly adjust the lever end
spacing.
To Adjust the Handle Height
Remove the mounting hardware (A, Figure 25) 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 19).
Only adjust the speed of the wheel that is traveling
faster.
To Reduce the Speed of the Faster Wheel
1. Loosen the jam nut (B, Figure 26).
2. Turn the top speed adjustment screw (A, Figure 26)
CLOCKWISE to reduce the speed.
3. Retighten the jam nut when adjustment is complete.
