DIRECTION CONTROL HANDLE ADJUSTMENTS
FIXED HANDLE ADJUSTMENT (See Figure 9)
- The fixed handle limits the forward ground speed
by limiting the forward movement of the direction control handles. Ground speed can be changed
(adjusted) by moving the fixed handle location. Speed adjustment range is between 5 mph to 7 mph
(8 Kph to 11.2 Kph).
● Loosen the upper carriage bolt (both sides) on the fixed handle. The handle will pivot forward or
backward on the lower carriage bolt.
● Adjusting handle forward will increase speed, adjusting backwards will decrease speed.
● Adjust as desired. Make sure the fixed handle is even on both sides and the direction control
handles equally touch the fixed handle. Retighten the carriage bolts.
DIRECTION CONTROL HANDLES (See Figure 10)
- The direction control handles can be adjusted
to correct for unequal steering. This adjustment will also correct unequal contact of the handles to
the fixed handle.
● Remove the front cover and locate the yokes on the upper end of the direction control rods.
● Loosen the lock nut on the yoke on the side you are adjusting. Remove the pin holding the yoke
to the control.
● Turn the yoke to adjust. Limit adjustment to 1/2 turn of the yoke and test result. Turning clockwise
will increase speed, counterclockwise to decrease (as viewed standing in front of the machine
looking back)
● Test, tighten lock nut and replace front cover.
