SEAT ADJUSTMENT

The seat and ground speed control levers should be adjusted so that operator’s elbows are supported by the arm rests when his/her hands are on the controls, and the ground speed control levers can be moved through their full range of motion without contacting the opera- tor’s legs.

Seat Position Adjustment

The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Move the adjustment lever (A, Figure 20) towards the left hand side of the machine, slide the seat to the desired posi- tion, and release the lever.

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 21) 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 21) 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

WARNING

DO NOT adjust the rider for a faster overall speed forward or reverse than it was designed for.

If the rider veers to the right or left when the ground speed control levers are in the maximum forward or reverse position, the top speed of each of these levers can be balanced by turning the adjustment bolt(s) (A & C Figure 22). Only adjust the speed of the wheel that is traveling faster.

TO REDUCE THE SPEED OF THE FASTER WHEEL

1.Loosen the jam nut securing the top speed adjust- ment bolt (A, C).

2.Turn the top speed adjustment bolt COUNTER- CLOCKWISE to reduce the speed.

3.Retighten the securing nut when adjustment is com- plete.
