IMPORTANT: The unit should track within 2 
feet (0.61 m) of a straight line for 30 feet 
(9.14 m).
The travel of the steering levers may need 
adjustment if:

• The unit turns to the right or left when 

both steering levers are pushed as far 
forward as possible.

• The unit turns to the right or left when 

both steering levers are pulled back as 
far rearward as possible.

NOTE: The side the unit turns toward 
indicates that the wheel on that side is turning 
slower than the other wheel. Either the wheel 
that is turning faster needs to slow down or 
the wheel that is turning slower needs to be 
sped up to allow the unit to travel in a straight 
line.

1. Determine which way the unit turns.

lever. The rear travel adjustment bolt adjusts 
the rearward travel of the steering lever.

3. Adjust speed by:

• Turning adjustment bolt clockwise to 

decrease steering lever travel.

• Turning adjustment bolt counter 

clockwise to increase steering lever 
travel.
