TRACKING ADJUSTMENT
IMPORTANT: DO NOT adjust the drive cables
in an attempt to resolve tracking issues. Cables
are set at the factory and should only be
adjusted by authorized service retailers.
If the mower is not tracking straight, check the
air pressure in both rear tires. Recommended
air pressure is 15 psi. If the unit will not track
straight, follow the steps below. Tracking must
be checked on a flat and level concrete or
blacktop surface.
• Mower is tracking to the right. In-
crease the air pressure 2-3 psi in the
right rear tire or decrease the air pres-
sure 2/3 psi in the left rear tire.
• Mower is tracking to the left. Increase
the air pressure 2-3 psi in the left rear tire
or decrease the air pressure 2/3 psi in
the right rear tire.
Recheck tracking and keep making adjustments
with the tire pressure until the unit tracks
straight. DO NOT exceed maximum
recommended tire pressure 24 psi.
Record the tire pressure for future reference.
