10. ADJUSTING FOR STRAIGHT FORWARD
TRACKING:
In a large open area, actuate the
Joystick Control lever into the full
forward position. If the mower veers in
either direction left or right some
adjustment is necessary. If the mower
veers to the right, then the right
hydrostat needs to be sped up. If the
mower veers to the left, then the left
hydrostat needs to be sped up.
A.
Stop the machine and shut off the
engine.
B.
Slightly loosen the NUT at the lower end
of the upper linkage assembly on the
side that is slower. Using a 1/8” hex
wrench turn the SETSCREW ¼ turn in.
It may take several test drives to get the
mower to track straight forward.
C.
Once the tracking is to the operators
liking, completely tighten the NUT on the
control linkage assembly that was
loosened earlier.
