If the rod is made longer it will speed up that side 

he mower and if the rod is made shorter it will 

 down that side of the mower. So, if the 

wer is tracking to the left, either the left side 

ds to go faster (by lengthening the rod) or the 
t side needs to go slower (by shortening the 

rod). If the mower is tracking to the right, either 
the right side needs to go faster (by lengthening 
the rod) or the left side needs to go slower (by 

ortening the rod). It is important that neither rod 

should be lengthened too far, as mentioned 
above.

everything is way off either because you are 

talling new parts (or other reasons) you should

only use the

 to 

get the tracking accurate and then change to the

e or two turns on either side. 

 
BE SURE THE BOLT/NUT IN THE CONTROL

YOU REMOVE THEM.  After getting the mower to

essary. It is normal to make these adjustments

Tire Maintenance and Pressure 

Excessively worn tire tread is dangerous on all
hills. Replace drive tires with less than 3/32” of 
any tread groove left. Use tires with the tread 
pattern recommended by Wright Mfg., Inc. only. 
Keep the tire pressure at the proper level. Hi

They do not have any tread but should be 
replaced when excessively worn. 
 

Adjustment 

 the mower 

hydraulic motor supports may be used to make a 
fine forward/rearward adjustment to the balance 
of the Velke Mower. This adjustment should 
always be made in combination with the coarse 
height-of-cut adjustment and anti-tip roller 
adjustment as described below. When the motor 
supports are set in the forward position, the Velke 
Mower will be balanced lighter in the front than 
when set in the rearward position, giving more 
traction to the drive tires. Heavy operators (over
