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.
