(9.14 m).
The travel of the steering levers may need
adjustment if the unit turns to the right or left
when both steering levers are pushed as far
forward as possible.
NOTE: The side the unit turns toward
indicates that the wheel on that side is turning
slower than the other wheel. Either the wheel
that is turning faster needs to slow down or
the wheel that is turning slower needs to
speed up to allow the unit to travel in a
straight line.

• Turning adjustment bolt clockwise to
decrease steering lever travel.
• Turning adjustment bolt
