5.2.10 Wheel speed

Front and rear wheel drives must be adjusted so that
the speed between the front and rear wheels is
correct when cornering. In order to prevent
measurement error due to rollback on the differntial
wheels, 2 of the wheels of the product must make
contact with the ground.
Make sure that the steering wheel postion does not
change while work is in progess.
Measure with the Husqvarna optical revolution
counter. Front wheel speed should be 0.95-1.0 of the
rear wheel speed. Note that the variation between the
wheel speeds is different on delivery. See table
below.
