Seat Adjustments

The seat and ground speed levers should be adjusted so that
operator's elbows are supported by the arm rests when his/her
hands are on the controls, and the ground speed levers can be
moved through their full range of motion without contacting
the operator's legs.
Seat Position Adjustment
Lift the seat adjustment lever (A, Figure 13). Slide the seat
forward or backward to the desired position, then lower the
seat adjustment lever. Make sure the lever locks into the
locking slots (B) in the seat base.

Ground Speed Lever Adjustment

To Adjust the Handle Height: Remove the ground speed lever
mounting hardware (A, Figure 14) and reposition the lever
either up or down from its original position. Replace the
hardware.

Speed Balancing Adjustment

If the rider drifts to the right or left when the ground speed
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 bolt securing the forward adjust plate (B,
Figure 14).
2. Slide the plate up approximately 1/8".
3. Retighten the bolt and recheck speed balance.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 until adjustment is complete.
WARNING
DO NOT adjust the rider for a faster overall speed forward or
reverse than it was designed for.
