Maintenance
2.Check the drive tire pressures and tire circumferences as stated in Check the Tire Pressures section in Maintenance.
3.Run the unit and observe the tracking on a level, smooth, hard surface such as concrete or asphalt.
4.If the unit tracks to one side or the other, turn the quick track knob. Turn the knob right to “steer” right, turn the knob left to “steer” left.
Hydro Pump Spring Tension Setting
1.For medium or heavy duty drive conditions such as operation with a sulky on steep slopes, a higher spring force may be required on the hydro pump control arms to prevent the drive system from stalling.
2.For a heavier drive setting, relocate the spring anchor link as shown in Figure 13. The spring anchor links are located under the engine deck on the left and right hand sides.
Note: In “medium” or “heavy duty” positions, the drive lever forces at the upper handle will also be increased.

•Wear safety glasses to shield eyes, and rubber gloves to protect skin and clothing when handling electrolyte.
•Do Not swallow electrolyte.
•In the event of an accident, flush with water and call a doctor immediately.
