first forward, then backward, noting the position
of the control lever when the indicator disappears.
The amount of movement, both forward and
back, should be approximately the same; if not,
go to step 6.
5. If the indicator does not illuminate, move both
motion control levers forward and then backward.
Continue to watch the message display and note
the position of the controls when it appears.
6. Loosen the lock nuts on the RH motion control
linkage (as viewed from the rear of the machine
— see Figure 37). With the right motion control
in the PTO disengage position, hold the LH
motion control in the position determined in step
4 or 5. Rotate the adjustment rod until the LCD

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.
