If steering unit response is less than ideal and adjusting the settings on the Volume Settings
screen in Test mode has no effect, the problem is most likely due to an incorrectly engaged gear,
an improperly placed microswitch, or a broken variable resistor or microswitch.
Follow the steps listed below to correct the gear engagement, adjust the position of the switch,
or replace the variable resistor or switch.
Refer to Section 12, "Maintaining the Base Interior", for instructions on how to: adjust and
replace the direction control variable resistor.
11 − 1 ADJUSTING AND REPLACING THE Y-AXIS VR
The variable resistor that detects the forward and backward tilting operation of the steering unit
is called the Y-axis steering VR. Follow the steps listed below to adjust the gear engagement or
replace the VR.
In this machine, the VR will not be damaged as long as its axle is rotating within its range of
motion when the handles on the machine are tilted to their maximum extent. Secure the VR so
that its axle points in the indicated direction and the gear is properly engaged when the handles
are not being tilted.
The following tools and instruments are required to perform these operations:
- 3mm diameter hexagonal screwdriver or wrench
- M4-size Phillips screwdriver
- 1.5mm diameter hexagonal screwdriver or wrench
- 10mm diameter spanner
- Soldering iron
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
① Turn off the power.
② Remove the 4 hexagonal socket screws
around the boost button.
