Ground Speed Control Lever Adjustment; Speed Balancing Adjustment - Ferris IS5100ZC33D72RD Operator's Manual

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.
Handle Alignment
Loosen the mounting hardware (A, Figure 33) and
pivot the lever(s) (C) fore or aft to align with each
other.
Handle Placement
Loosen the jam nuts and adjust the placement bolt
(B) in or out to properly adjust the lever end spacing.
Handle 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 34). 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 CLOCKWISE
to reduce the speed.
3. Retighten the securing nut when adjustment is
complete.
WARNING
DO NOT adjust the tractor for a faster overall
speed forward or reverse than it was designed
for.
