ADJUSTING FOR STRAIGHT
FORWARD TRACKING:
In a large open area, actuate the
Joystick Control lever into the full
forward position. If the mower veers in
either direction left or right some
adjustment is necessary.
A.
If the mower veers to the right, then
the right hydrostat needs to be sped
up. If the mower veers to the left,
then the left hydrostat needs to be
sped up.
B.
Stop the machine and shut of the
engine.
C.
Slightly loosen the bolt at the lower
end of the upper linkage assembly
on the side that is slower. Using a
1/8” allen wrench turn the setscrew
¼ turn in. It may take several test
drives to get the mower to track
straight forward.
D.
Once the tracking is to the operators
liking, completely tighten the bolt on
the control linkage assembly that
was loosened earlier.
E.
Recheck to make sure neutral
adjustment has not been effected.
