GROUND SPEED CONTROL LEVER

The control levers can be adjusted in two ways. The
alignment of the control levers can be adjusted along
with the placement of the levers (how close the ends are
to one another) can be adjusted.
To Adjust the Handle Alignment

lever(s) (C) to align with each other.
To Adjust the Handle Placement
Loosen the jam nuts and adjust the placement bolt (B) in
or out to properly adjust the lever end spacing.
SPEED BALANCING ADJUSTMENT
If the rider veers to the right or left when the ground
speed control levers are in the maximum forward posi-
tion, the top speed of each of these levers can be bal-
anced by turning the adjustment bolt(s) (A, Figure 18).
Only adjust the speed of the wheel that is traveling
faster.
To Reduce the Speed of the Faster Wheel
1. Loosen the securing nut.
2. turn the top speed adjustment bolt COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE to reduce the speed.
3. Retighten the securing nut when adjustment is com-
plete.
