ADJUSTING STEERING LEVERS

Adjusting Steering Lever Height (Figure 17)

NOTE: Perform steps 1 and 2 for both steering levers.

1. Remove mounting hardware and move handlebar up or

down until the steering levers are at the appropriate

height.

2. Install mounting hardware.

NOTE: Align handlebars by adjusting eccentric spacer until

the height of handlebars are the same.

Forward and Reverse Speed Adjustment

(Figure 18)

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.

1. Determine which way the unit turns.

NOTE: The forward travel adjustment bolt adjusts the

forward travel of the steering lever. The rear travel

adjustment bolt adjusts the rearward travel of the steering

lever.

2. Adjust speed by:

• Turning adjustment bolt clockwise to decrease steering

lever travel.

• Turning adjustment bolt counterclockwise to increase

steering lever travel.
