Troubleshooting, Adjustment & Service
SEAT ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 25. The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Move the lever towards the left, position the seat as desired, and release the lever to lock the seat into position.
GROUND SPEED CONTROL LEVER ADJUSTMENT
The control levers can be adjusted in three ways. The alignment of the control levers, the placement of the levers (how close the ends are to one another) and the height of the levers can be adjusted.
To Adjust the Handle Alignment
Loosen the mount bolts (A, Figure 26) and pivot the lever(s) (C) to align with each other.
To Adjust the Handle Placement
Loosen the jam nuts and adjust the placement bolt (B, Figure 26) in or out to properly adjust the lever end spacing.
To Adjust the Handle Height
Remove the mounting hardware and reposition the handle either up or down from its original position. You will need to readjust the handle alignment as described above.

SPEED BALANCING ADJUSTMENT
If the rider veers to the right or left when the ground speed control levers are in the maximum forward position, the top speed of each of these levers can be balanced by turning the adjustment bolt(s) (A, Figure 27). Only adjust the speed of the wheel that is traveling faster.
To Reduce the Speed of the Faster Wheel
1.Loosen the securing nut.
2.Turn the top speed adjustment bolt COUNTER- CLOCKWISE to reduce the speed.
3.Retighten the securing nut when adjustment is complete.
WARNING
DO NOT adjust the tractor for a faster overall speed forward or reverse than it was designed for.
