Seat Adjustment; Ground Speed Control Lever Adjustment; Speed Balancing Adjustment - Simplicity 5022285 Operator's Manual

SEAT ADJUSTMENT

See Figure 22. The seat can be adjusted forward and
back. Move the lever towards the left, position the seat
as desired, and release the lever to lock the seat into
position.
GROUND SPEED CONTROL LEVER
ADJUSTMENT
The control levers can be adjusted in three ways. The
alignment of the control levers, the placement of the
levers (how close the ends are to one another) and the
height of the levers can be adjusted.
To Adjust the Lever Alignment
Loosen the mount bolts (A, Figure 23) and pivot the
lever(s) (C) to align with each other.
To Adjust the Lever Placement
Loosen the jam nuts and adjust the placement bolt (B,
Figure 23) in or out to properly adjust the lever end
spacing.
To Adjust the Lever Height
Remove the mounting hardware and reposition the
handle either up or down from its original position. You
will need to readjust the handle alignment as described
above.

SPEED BALANCING ADJUSTMENT

If the rider veers to the right or left when the ground
speed control levers are in the maximum forward
position, the top speed of each of these levers can be
balanced by turning the adjustment bolt(s) (A, Figure
24). Only adjust the speed of the wheel that is traveling
faster.
To Reduce the Speed of the Faster Wheel
1. Loosen the securing nut.
2. Turn the top speed adjustment bolt COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE to reduce the speed.
3. Retighten the securing nut when adjustment is
complete.
WARNING
DO NOT adjust the rider for a faster overall speed
forward or reverse than it was designed for.
