SEAT ADJUSTMENTS

The seat and motion control levers should be adjusted so that operator’s elbows are supported by the arm rests when his/her hands are on the controls, and the motion control levers can be moved through their full range of motion without contacting the operator’s legs.

Seat Position Adjustment

See Figure 20. The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Remove the knobs (A), and loosen the support bolts (B). Slide the seat to the desired position, then reinstall the knobs and retighten the bolts.

MOTION CONTROL LEVER

ADJUSTMENT

The motion control levers can be adjusted in two ways. The placement of the levers (how close the ends are to one another) and the height of the levers can be adjust- ed.

To Adjust the Lever Placement: Loosen the two bolts (B, Figure 21) securing the control track, and adjust the control track in or out to properly adjust the lever end spacing.

Note: The bottom bolt may be accessed from beneath the fender.

To Adjust the Handle Height: Remove the motion con- trol lever mounting hardware (A, Figure 21) and reposi- tion the lever either up or down from its original position. You may need to readjust the handle placement as described above.

SPEED BALANCING ADJUSTMENT

If the rider drifts to the right or left when the motion con- trol levers are in the maximum forward position, the top speed of each of these levers can be balanced. Only adjust the speed of the wheel that is traveling faster.

TO REDUCE THE SPEED OF THE FASTER WHEEL

1.Loosen the two bolts securing the forward adjust plate (C, Figure 21).

2.Slide the plate up approximately 1/8”.

3.Retighten the bolts and recheck speed balance.

4.Repeat steps 1-3 until adjustment is complete.

WARNING

DO NOT adjust the rider for a faster overall speed forward or reverse than it was designed for.
