Speed Balancing Adjustment
If the rider veers to the right or left when both 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 12). 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 (A & C, Figure 12)
3.Retighten the securing nut when adjustment is complete.
WARNING
DO NOT adjust the rider for a faster overall speed forward or reverse than it was designed for.

RETURN-TO-NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT
To determine if it is necessary to adjust the neutral return, perform the following steps.
1.Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake and turn off the engine.
2.Move the ground speed control levers into the operating position, pull levers rearward and release.
3.Move the ground speed control levers out towards the neutral position. If the levers do not align with the notches in the neutral lock plate, it is necessary to adjust the neutral return rod (C, Figure 13).
TO ADJUST:
1.Loosen the jam nut (B) locked against the clevis (A).
2.Turn the neutral return rod (C) to adjust handle position.
4.Pull lever rearward and release to check position again. Adjust as necessary to align levers with notches.
It is important to note that after every adjustment of the neutral return rod, the lever must be pulled rearward and released to properly check the neutral position.
5.Once the lever alignment has been adjusted, lock jam nut against the clevis.
