Reverse Drive Limit Adjustment
The reverse Drive limit adjustment set at the adjustable limit bolts on the inside
of the frame on each side. If your machine is tracking straight when traveling in
full speed reverse (both Thumb Pads pressed fully), do not make any
adjustments. If your machine is tracking to the left or right when traveling in full
speed reverse (both levers pressed equally), you may need to adjust the reverse
drive limit as follows.
Tools Needed:
1/2" Wrench
Gap Gauge (A narrow piece of 7 or 8 gage sheet metal, or other suitable
material that is between 0.15 to 0.18 thick)
1.
Jack up the rear of the machine and remove the e-clips securing the wheels
to axle. Remove the Wheels (Figure 52).
2.
Use a narrow piece of 7 or 8 gage sheet metal, or other suitable material that
is between 0.15 to 0.18 thick to check the gap between the Reverse Limit Bolt
and the Transmission Control Plate on both Transmissions (Figure 53).
3.
If the gaps appear to be set the same as they come from the factory, no
adjustment is necessary. If the gaps are different, follow the next steps for
proper adjustment.
4.
Use a 1/2" Wrench to loosen the Jam Nut on the Adjustment Bolt as you
hold the Bolt with another 1/2
″
Wrench.
5.
Rotate the Adjustment Bolt until it contacts the Gauge that is between the
Bolt and the Transmission Control Plate.
6.
Hold the Bolt Head with a Wrench as you tighten the Jam Nut against the
Bracket with another Wrench to secure the Adjustment Bolt in place.
7.
Ensure the gaps on both sides of the machine are set the same using the
Gauge.
Note: For the machine to track straight in reverse, it is important that the gap
between the adjustment bolt and the transmission control plate is the same for both
the left and right transmissions. The proper gap should be between 0.15
″
and 0.18
″
.
8.
Reinstall the Wheels and check that the Machine Travels in a straight line in
reverse. If the machine is still tracking in one direction, repeat the process
above.

A gap of 0.15
″
-0.18
″
results in a reverse speed limit of approximately 2MPH.
Setting the gap larger than recommended result in a reverse speed limit that
is faster than 2MPH and is considered unsafe and could cause injury.
