4.8 ADJUSTING THE UNIT TO TRACK

STRAIGHT

IMPORTANT: The unit should track within 2 feet

(0.61 m) of a straight line for 30 feet (9.14 m).

The travel of the steering levers may need adjustment

if:

• The unit turns to the right or left when both steering

levers are pushed as far forward as possible.

• The unit turns to the right or left when both steering

levers are pulled back as far rearward as possible.

NOTE: The side the unit turns toward indicates that the

wheel on that side is turning slower than the other

wheel. Either the wheel that is turning faster needs to

slow down or the wheel that is turning slower needs to

be sped up to allow the unit to travel in a straight line.

The forward travel adjustment bolt (3) controls the

forward movement of the steering lever by changing

the position of the forward travel stop (1). The reverse

travel adjustment bolt (4) controls the rearward

movement of the steering lever by changing the

position of the reverse travel stop (2).

1. Determine which way the unit turns.

2. Adjust speed:

• Turn forward stop adjustment bolt (3) clockwise to

increase steering lever travel by moving stop (1)

forward or counterclockwise to decrease steering

lever travel by moving stop rearward.

• Turn reverse stop adjustment bolt (4) clockwise to

decrease steering lever travel by moving stop (2)

forward or counterclockwise to increase steering

lever travel by moving stop rearward.

4.9 FRONT AXLE LOCKS

The front axle provides an even, smooth cut. If the lawn

terrain is relatively smooth, lock the front axle (non-

pivoting) as shown in Figure 11. For a lawn with a

rougher terrain, unlock the front axle so the deck is free

to pivot on the center pin.
