CARE AND MAINTENANCE

STEERING CONTROL ADJUSTMENTS (continued):

D.Adjusting for Straight Forward Tracking:

In large open area, actuate the control handles into the full forward position. If the mower veers in either direction (left or right) some adjustment is necessary.

1.If the mower veers to the right, then the right hydrostat needs to be sped up. If the mower veers to the left, then the left hydrostat needs to be sped up.

2.Stop the machine and shut off the engine.

3.Slightly loosen the bolt at the lower end of the upper linkage assembly on the side that is slower. Using a 1/8" allen wrench turn the setscrew 1/4 turn in. It may take several test drives to get the mower to track straight forward.

4.Once the tracking is to the operators liking, completely tighten the bolt on the control linkage, completely tighten the bolt on the control linkage assembly that was loosened earlier.

5.Recheck to make sure neutral adjust has not been effected, see procedure A.
