Ground Speed Control Lever Adjustment; Speed Balancing Adjustment - Ferris F800X Series Dealer Service 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.
To Adjust the Handle Alignment
Loosen the ground speed control lever mount bolts (D,
Figure 38) and pivot the lever(s) (C) to align with each other.
To Adjust the Handle Placement
Loosen the jam nuts and adjust the placement bolt (B) in or
out to properly adjust the lever end spacing.
To Adjust the Handle Height
Remove the mounting hardware (D) 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 adjusting
the top speed adjustment bolt(s) (A, Figure 38). 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 COUNTER-
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.
