CARE AND MAINTENANCE

STEERING CONTROL ADJUSTMENTS (continued):

To adjust “In” position of the steering controls:

1.Move the levers inboard to the operating position. Adjust the steering lever stops until the steering levers have the desired clearance.

To adjust for straight forward tracking:

1.Drive tractor with both control levers in the full forward position.

2.Stop the machine and shut off the engine.

3.Adjust the forward stop of the control lever on the side which appears to be faster to limit the forward travel of the control levers until the mower tracks in a straight line.

Note: Variations in the turf and tire pressure can cause variations in speed and tracking.

When all alignment adjustments are satisfactory, slide the hold down plate and bellows down the control levers and secure with screws.
