Troubleshooting, Adjustment, & Service

Seat Adjustment

Pitch Adjustment

The pitch of the seat can be adjusted to one of three positions. To adjust, remove the carriage bolts, spacers, washers, and nuts (B, Figure 30) from the hinge and reinstall them in the desired holes.

Seat Slide Adjustment

The seat can also be adjusted forward and back. Move the lever (A, Figure 30), position the seat as desired, and release the lever to lock the seat into position.

Seat Spring Adjustment

The seat springs (C, Figure 30) can be adjusted to provide a softer or firmer ride. Tilt the seat forward and slide the spring assembly (C) forward for a softer ride, and back for a firmer ride.

WARNING

Keep open flames and sparks away from the battery; the gasses coming from it are highly explosive. Ventilate the battery well during charging.

Battery Charging

A dead battery or one too weak to start the engine may be the result of a defect in the charging system or other electrical component. If there is any doubt about the cause of the problem, see your dealer. If you need to replace the battery, follow the steps under Cleaning the Battery & Cables in the Regular Maintenance Section.

To charge the battery, follow the instructions provided by the battery charger manufacturer as well as all warnings included in the safety rules sections of this book. Charge the battery until fully charged (until the specific gravity of the electrolyte is 1.250 or higher and the electrolyte temperature is at least 60° F). Do not charge at a rate higher than 10 amps.
