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.

Seat Position Adjustment

Lift the seat adjustment lever (A, Figure 11). Slide the
seat forward or backward to the desired position, then
lower the seat adjustment lever. Make sure the lever
locks into the locking slots (B) in the seat base.

Ground Speed Lever Adjustment
Remove the ground speed lever mounting hardware
and bracket (see Figure 12). 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 13). 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.
