Tracking Knob
If the mower is not tracking straight, check the
air pressure in both rear tires. Recommended air
pressure is 15 psi (103 kPa / 1 bar) for all tires.
Tracking must be checked on a flat and level concrete
or blacktop surface.
Rotating the tracking knob allows fine tuning
adjustments so the machine tracks straight with the
steering control levers in the full forward position.
Rotate the knob clockwise (as viewed from the
operation position) to increase the speed on the left
lever. Rotate counterclockwise to decrease speed.

heights are measured from the ground up to the blade
tip with the engine not running.
