Tracking Adjustment

caution

Stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition before making any adjustments. Wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop before beginning work.

caution

The engine and drive unit can get hot during operation causing burn injuries. Allow engine and drive components to cool before making any adjustments.

- NOTE -

Before proceeding with this adjustment, be sure that the caster wheels turn plus pivot freely and that the tire pressure in the drive wheels is correct. If the tire pressure is not correct, the machine will pull to the side with the lower pressure.

1.If at full speed the mower pulls right, it is an indication that the left wheel is turning faster than the right wheel. To adjust this condition, proceed as follows:

A. Stop the machine and place the steering control levers in the neutral position. Loosen the lock nuts securing the ball joints at each end of the LH steering control rod. Rotate the control rod to lengthen the rod and tighten the lock nuts. This will cause the control rod to stroke the LH pump less, slowing down the LH wheel. (See Figure 6-4, page 24)

- NOTE -

If after making the adjustment as outlined in step 1A, the machine creeps forward or backward, the neutral adjustment must be made as described on page 24.

2.If at full speed the mower pulls left, it is an indication that the right wheel is turning faster than the left wheel. To adjust this condition, proceed as follows:

A. Stop the machine and place the steering control levers in the neutral position. Loosen the lock nuts securing the ball joints at each end of the RH steering control rod. Rotate the control rod to lengthen the rod and tighten the lock nuts. This will cause the control rod to stroke the RH pump less, slowing down the RH wheel. (See Figure 6-3, page 24)

- NOTE -

If after making the adjustment as outlined in step 2A, the machine creeps forward or backward, the neutral adjustment must be made as described on page 24.
