Operator Adjustment
The motion control levers can be adjusted in two ways.
The placement of the levers (how close the ends are to
one another) and the height of the levers can be adjust-
ed.
To Adjust the Lever Placement:
Loosen the two bolts
(B, Figure 8) securing the control track, and adjust the
control track in or out to properly adjust the lever end
spacing.
Note: The bottom bolt may be accessed from beneath
the fender.
To Adjust the Handle Height:
Remove the motion con-
trol lever mounting hardware (A, Figure 8) and reposition
the lever either up or down from its original position. You
may need to readjust the handle placement as described
above.
Speed Balancing Adjustment
If the rider drifts to the right or left when the motion con-
trol levers are in the maximum forward position, the top
speed of each of these levers can be balanced. Only
adjust the speed of the wheel that is traveling faster.
To Reduce the Speed of the Faster Wheel:
1. Loosen the two bolts securing the forward adjust
plate (C, Figure 8).
2. Slide the plate up approximately 1/8”.
3. Retighten the bolts and recheck speed balance.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 until adjustment is complete.
Lever Friction Adjustment
The motion control levers should be tight when moving in
and out of their neutral locked positions. If the levers are
loose, the lever friction should be adjusted.
To adjust friction:
Loosen the outside nut (C, Figure 9) securing the motion
control lever (A) to the control bracket weldment (B).
Tighten the inner nut (D) against the bellville washer (E)
to 10 ft-lbs. Tighten the outside nut against the inside
nut, without allowing the inside nut to turn.
Note: The control bracket weldment is located beneath
the fender next to the operator’s seat.
