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.

Loosen the mount bolts (A, Figure 32) and pivot the lever(s)

(B) to align with each other.

To Adjust the Handle Placement

Loosen the jam nuts and adjust the placement bolt (C, Figure 33) 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 33). Only adjust the speed of the wheel that is traveling faster.

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
