Tracking
If the mower is not tracking straight, check the air 
pressure in both rear tires. Recommended air pressure 
is 15 psi (1 bar). Tracking must be checked on a flat 
and level concrete or blacktop surface. 
The tracking knob is located in front of the left control 
lever. Rotating this knob allows fine tuning adjustments 
so that the machine tracks straight with the drive 
levers in the full forward position.
Rotate the knob clockwise (as viewed from the 
operating position) to increase the speed or 
counterclockwise to decrease the speed on the left 
control lever. Example: If control levers are full forward 
and the unit turns to the right, turn the tracking knob 
counterclockwise to decrease the speed on the left 
control lever.
If unit still does not track straight, contact a Yazoo/
Kees dealer for adjustment.
Bypass Linkages 
When pushing or pulling the mower, be sure to open 
the release valves on the both hydraulic pumps.
Always turn off engine before engaging or disengaging 
the hydro release. Never attempt to adjust the bypass 
linkages with the engine running.
The hydro release valves are located below the seat, 
on the front side of the hydro pumps. 
1.  Raise the deck into highest cutting position.
2.  Lift the seat frame assembly to access the 
release valves. 
3.  Use a

" wrench to rotate bolt counter-
clockwise two full turns to disengage pump. 
4.  Repeat the procedure for the opposite pump. 
5.  To engage, rotate each pump bolt clockwise 
until the bolt is snug. Do not overtighten the 
release valve or damage to the hydro pump 
could occur.
