Checking Tire Pressures; Seat And Ground Speed Control Lever Adjustments - Ferris 400S Series Operator's Manual

Checking Tire Pressures

Tire pressure should be checked periodically (see
Figure 22), and maintained at the levels shown in
the Specifications chart. Note that these pressures may
differ slightly from the "Max Inflation" stamped on the side-
wall of the tires. The pressures shown provide proper traction
and extend tire life.

Seat And Ground Speed Control Lever
Adjustments
The seat and ground speed control levers should be adjusted
so that the ground speed control levers can be moved
through their full range of motion without contacting the
operator's legs.
Seat Adjustment
The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Move the lever
(A, Figure 23) towards the left, position the seat as desired,
and release the lever to lock the seat into position.

Ground Speed Control Lever Adjustment
1. Loosen the ground speed control lever mounting
hardware (A, Figure 24) to adjust the levers forward and
backward.
2. Remove the hardware to raise or lower the levers.
3. Always be sure to adjust both levers so that they are
aligned (B, Figure 24).
4. After adjustment is complete, tighten the hardware to 13
lb-ft (18 Nm).

Speed Balancing (Tracking) Adjustment
If the rider drifts 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. Only adjust
the speed of the wheel that is traveling faster.
1. Tighten the knob (A, Figure 25) of the faster wheel by 1/2-
turn (clockwise) increments until the rider travels (tracks)
straight.
WARNING
Unsafe Operation Hazard
DO NOT adjust the rider for a faster overall speed forward
or reverse than it was designed.
