SEAT ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 19. 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 two ways. The
alignment of the control levers can be adjusted along
with the placement of the levers (how close the ends are
to one another) can be adjusted.
To Adjust the Handle Alignment
Loosen the mount bolts (A, Figure 20) and pivot the
lever(s) (C, Figure 20) to align with each other.
To Adjust the Handle Placement
Loosen the jam nuts and adjust the placement bolt (B,
Figure 20) in or out to properly adjust the lever end
spacing.
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 21).
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 COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE to reduce the speed.
3. Retighten the securing nut when adjustment is com-
plete.
