My mower has gotten slower in reverse, what can I do to fix this
To fix a slow reverse issue on an Exmark Vantage mower, follow these steps:
1. Check the bypass valve – Make sure it is closed tightly. A loose valve can cause drive issues.
2. Inspect the drive or pump belts – Look for worn, loose, or broken belts and replace them if needed.
3. Check if belts are off a pulley – Reinstall the belt if it has slipped off and ensure pulleys are in correct working position.
4. Adjust tracking – Turn the left-hand adjustment rod in 1/4 turn increments in the direction needed until the mower tracks correctly.
These steps can help restore proper reverse speed and function.
