2. If at full speed the mower pulls left, it is an indication
that the right wheel is turning faster than the left
wheel. To adjust this condition, proceed as follows:
A. Stop the machine and place the steering control
levers in the neutral position. Turn the tracking
adjustment bolt for the RH pump inward (clockwise).
This will cause the control rod to stroke the RH pump
less, slowing down the RH wheel. See Figure 6-4.

If after making the adjustment as outlined in step
2A, the machine creeps forward or backward,
perform the neutral adjustment. See Neutral
Adjustment on page 24.

the belts should be checked for proper alignment and
wear. Thereafter, check the belts after every 40 hours of
operation or weekly, whichever occurs first.

lost which could result in serious injury or death.
Replace the pump drive belt as needed or every
400 hours / 2 years, whichever occurs first.
