WARNING
Do not operate (drive) the mower without plugging the
mower's wiring harness into the seat switch. This switch
is an important part of the safety start interlock system.
Serious injury can result if the seat switch is not plugged
into the mower's wiring harness.
5. Start the engine and move both steering control levers
forward against the stops in the steering cover.
6. Determine if the drive wheels are rotating equally or if
one is faster than the other. If the wheels are not the same
speed, proceed to the next step.
7. Shut engine off and place the steering control levers in
the park brake position
8. Loosen the cap screw under the seat platform on the side
which is rotating too fast. Tighten the cap screw on the
top of the steering cover to adjust the drive straight
bracket up to stop the steering control lever sooner.
Repeat this procedure until both drive wheels rotate at the
same speed. Figure 4-8
