Ground Speed Control Lever Adjustment
The control levers can be adjusted in three ways. The
alignment of the control levers, the placement of the levers
(how close the ends are to one another) and the height of
the levers can be adjusted.
To Adjust the Handle Alignment
Loosen the mount bolts (A, Figure 33) and pivot the lever(s)
(B) to align with each other.
To Adjust the Handle Placement
Loosen the jam nuts and adjust the placement bolt (C,
Figure 34) in or out to properly adjust the lever end spacing.
To Adjust the Handle Height
Remove the mounting hardware and reposition the handle
either up or down from its original position. You will need
to readjust the handle alignment as described above.
Speed Balancing Adjustment
If the rider veers to the right or left when the ground speed
control levers are in the maximum forward position, the top
speed of each of these levers can be balanced by turning the
adjustment bolt(s) (A, Figure 34). Only adjust the speed of
the wheel that is traveling faster.
To Reduce the Speed of the Faster Wheel
1. Loosen the securing nut.
2. Turn the top speed adjustment bolt COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE to reduce the speed.
3. Retighten the securing nut when adjustment is
complete.
