Adjusting the Forward Speed Limit
If you notice your machine is tracking to the left or right when traveling forward
at full speed (both Levers fully against the Handlebar Grips) you may need to
adjust your traction Drive levers.
The following instructions are for the Cross Drive configuration. For the Inline
configuration, adjust in the opposite direction for step 5.
Tools Needed:

Two 1/2
″
Wrenches
Note: “Clockwise” and “counterclockwise” reference turning direction when looking
down at the top of the Adjuster.
1. Both Right and Left side Adjusters - Hold the center hex section in place
using a 1/2
″
Wrench as you turn both Jam Nuts clockwise to move them
away from the center section a couple of turns using a 1/2
″
Wrench (Figure
49).
Note: In the next step, turning the center section clockwise will move the Lever away
from the Handlebar Grip and counterclockwise will move the Lever closer to
the Grip.
2. Both Right and Left side Adjusters - Turn the center Hex Sections in the
necessary direction to set the distance between the lowest points of the
Levers to the Handlebar Grips at 4
″
(Figure 50 and 51).
3. Right side Adjuster only - Tighten the Jam Nuts against the center section
(Figure 49) counterclockwise to lock the Adjuster at the 4
″
setting. Right side
adjustment is finished.
4. Drive the machine forward at full speed with both Levers fully against the
Handlebar Grips. If the machine travels in a straight line tighten the Jam
Nuts counterclockwise on the left side and adjustment is complete. If the
machine does not travel in a straight line, continue to the next step.
5. If the machine is turning more to the right, adjust the center section on the
left hand side 1/8 turn clockwise. If the machine is turning more to the left,
adjust the center section on the left hand side 1/8 turn counterclockwise.
6. Continue driving and adjusting the left side handlebar until the machine
travels in a straight line at full speed.
7. Tighten the left handlebar Jam nuts counterclockwise against the center
section. Adjustment is complete.

A setting more than 4 ″ may
cause the machine to lose control, causing damage to the machine and
personal injury to the operator.
