7.Continue to rotate the adjustment rod, counting the turns, until the LCD indicator turns off. Rotate the adjustment rod in the opposite direction half the number of turns counted. Release the LH motion control lever and tighten the lock nuts on the right side.
8.Turn the adjustment rod on the LH side (as viewed from the rear of the machine — see Figure 38) until the left control has approximately the same natural neutral position as the right. If more adjustment is needed, contact an Authorized Service Dealer. Final adjustment of the left side is done in the tracking adjustment section. If no adjustment is required, see Check the Neutral Switch Alignment section.

Motion Control Tracking Adjustment
If the machine travels or pulls to one side when the motion control levers are in the full forward position, adjust the tracking.
1.Push both control levers forward the same distance.
2.Check if the machine pulls to one side. If it does, stop the machine and set the parking brake.
3.Release the rear cushion from the rear of the machine.
4.Place the front reference/speed control bar in the maximum forward position. See Adjusting the Front Reference/Speed Control Bar in Operation.
5.Rotate the adjustment rod on the LH side of the machine (as viewed from the rear of the machine
— see Figure 38).
6.Looking down towards the adjustment rod — rotate it counterclockwise, in 1/4 turn increments, to increase speed or clockwise to decrease speed.
7.Drive the machine and check the full forward tracking.
8.Repeat steps 5 through 7 until desired tracking is obtained.
9.With the motion control levers in the neutral position (see Figure 4) (with no force on the lever either forward or back), the neutral LCD indicator should appear.. If it does not appear, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
10.Reinstall the rear cushion.
Check the Neutral Switch Alignment
1.Park the machine on a level surface and disengage the blade control switch.
2.Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove the key or spark plug wire(s).
3.Set the height of cut to the 3 inch (7.6 cm) position.
4.Perform the Motion Control Neutral Adjustment and Motion Control Tracking Adjustment as stated in the Maintenance section.
5.Release the rear cushion from the rear of the machine and lower to the platform.
