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
•Mower is tracking to the left. Increase the air pressure
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.

NOTE: After making any adjustments, check to make sure the brake disengages the brake sprockets, when the brake is in the "OFF" position.
