5.1 STEERING SYSTEM (DIRECTION OF TRAVEL)
5.1.1 General information
This machine is characterised by the presence of two independent transmission units that, each
controlled by a lever, control the two rear wheels in a differentiated manner.
The differentiation of the speed between the two drive wheels allows the driver to change direc-
tion, as well as the possibility to rotate the machine by 360 degrees, particularly useful in many
conditions.
To achieve smooth driving of the machine, it is necessary that the two independent levers making
up the handlebars are properly adjusted using two different criteria:
• Ergonomic adjustment
= for adaptation to the physique f the driver and mechanical align-
ment between the two levers
[
.
• Adjusting the direction of travel
= to obtain a straight forward movement of the machine
with the two levers aligned with each other
[
.
5.1.2 Ergonomic adjustment of the levers
a) Adjustment of the height and the longitu-
dinal position
1. Undo the two nuts (1) and move the lever (2) to
the desired height, using two of the three holes
provided on the control arm (3).
WARNING!
The lever must always be fixed
by two screws.
