ADJUSTING STEERING LEVERS
(Figure 20)
IMPORTANT:
Adjust each steering lever
equally.
NOTICE:
When adjusting steering levers for
the first time it is recommended that you
make adjustments in the following order.
1. Adjust Steering Lever Height
1. Remove mounting hardware that
attaches the handlebars to the upper
control arm. Move handlebar up or down
until the handlebar mounting holes are
aligned with the preferred adjustment
holes.
2. Install mounting hardware and tighten.
2. Adjust Steering Lever Width
1. Loosen hardware at the base of the
lower control arm (item 5).
2. Rotate eccentric spacer to move the
levers away from or closer to the
operators position (figure 21).
3. Tighten hardware.
3. Adjust Steering Lever Forward or
Backward
1. Loosen, do not remove, the bolts
securing the handlebar to the upper
control arm.
2. Rotate steering lever forward or
backward to desired position and tighten
bolts.
NOTICE:
Tighten upper bolt first.
Forward Speed Adjustment
(Figure 22)
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. The unit should track
within 0.6 m (2’) of a straight line for 9.1 m
(30’).
The side the unit turns toward indicates that
the drive wheel on that side is turning slower
than the opposite drive 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.
IMPORTANT:
Check tyre pressure before
making adjustments. Incorrect or inconsistent
pressure between tyres may cause unit to
track incorrectly.
1. Determine which way the unit turns.
2. Loosen jam nut on the adjustment bolt.
3. Adjust speed by:
•
Turning adjustment bolt clockwise to
decrease steering lever travel.
•
Turning adjustment bolt
counterclockwise to increase steering
lever travel.
4. Tighten the jam nut.
