Seat and Ground Speed Lever Adjustments

The seat and ground speed levers should be adjusted
so that operator's elbows are supported by the arm rests
when his/her hands are on the controls, and the ground
speed levers can be moved through their full range of
motion without contacting the operator's legs.

Ground Speed Lever Adjustment
Remove the ground speed lever mounting hardware
and bracket (see Figure 15). Move the levers to the
desired height using the adjustment holes. The bolts
need to be spaced so there is a hole open in between.
Reinstall the bracket and mounting hardware to the
levers.
speed balancing adjustment
If the rider drifts to the right or left when the ground
speed levers are in the maximum forward position, the
top speed of each of these levers can be balanced. Only
adjust the speed of the wheel that is traveling faster.
Loosen the bolt securing the forward adjust plate (see
Figure 16). Slide the plate up approximately 1/8".
Retighten the bolt and recheck speed balance. Repeat
steps until adjustment is complete.
WARNING
DO NOT adjust the rider for a faster overall speed
forward or reverse than it was designed.
