Troubleshooting, Adjustment, & Service

Seat Adjustment

The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Move the
lever (A, Figure 33), position the seat as desired, and
release the lever to lock the seat into position.

Battery Charging

A dead battery or one too weak to start the engine may
be the result of a defect in the charging system or other
electrical component.  If there is any doubt about the
cause of the problem, see your dealer. If you need to
replace the battery, follow the steps under Cleaning the
Battery & Cables in the Regular Maintenance Section.

To charge the battery, follow the instructions provided by
the battery charger manufacturer as well as all warnings
included in the safety rules sections of this book.  Charge
the battery until fully charged.  Do not charge at a rate
higher than 10 amps.

Brake Adjustment

This unit does not have a manually adjustable brake.  If
brake does not function properly see your dealer 

WARNING

Keep open flames and sparks away from the
battery; the gasses coming from it are highly
explosive. Ventilate the battery well during
charging.
