After adjusting the left hydro control linkage, move the speed control lever to the mid-speed position and then back to the neutral position. Recheck the left drive wheel rotation to see if further adjustment is necessary - be sure the speed control lever is in the neutral position.

Important: If inconsistent neutral occurs, check to be sure both springs are properly tightened on the speed control lever under the console–especially the rear pivot spring.

Repeat above adjustments if necessary.
