THROTTLE CABLE ADJUSTMENT:
Correct
cable adjustment allows for full range of movement
of throttle body on engine in conjunction with
throttle control on handle. To adjust, loosen cable
clip screw on engine, then slide cable housing in or
out in approximately 1/8-1/4” increments. Retighten
screw, recheck, and readjust as needed. (Briggs
engine shown – design and location may vary with
engine. Refer to engine manual.)

FRONT WHEEL CAMBER ADJUSTMENT:
Correct camber adjustment will place the front
axle at 0 degrees, or parallel with level ground,
and the wheel at 90 degrees or perpendicular
with level ground. Adjust by loosening the
three mounting bolts and placing a square
aside the wheel and adjusting until square sits
flat on ground and touches upper and lower
points of tire, then retightening bolts. An
alternate method is to place a level against the
side of the caster bracket.
