Remove mounting hardware that attaches the handlebars to the upper control arm. Move handlebar up or down until the handlebar mounting holes are aligned with the prefered adjustment holes. 2. Install mounting hardware and tighten. 2. Adjust Steering Lever Width 1. Loosen hardware at the base of the lower control arm item 5. 2. Rotate eccentric spacer to move the levers away from or closer to the operators position (figure 16). Rotate this end away from the operator position to move the steering levers out. Figure 16 3. Adjust Steering Lever Forward or Backward 1. Loosen, do not remove, the bolts securing the handlebar to the upper control arm. 2. Slide steering lever forward or backward to desired position and tighten bolts. NOTE: Tigthen upper bolt first. Forward Speed Adjustment (Figure 17) NOTE: Reverse speed cannot be adjusted. If unit tracks excessively left or right in reverse, see your Dealer for repair. 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. 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 speed up to allow the unit to travel in a straight line. 1. Determine which way the unit turns. 2. Loosen jam nut on the adjustment bolt. 3. Adjust speed by: • Turning adjustment bolt clockwise to decrease steering lever travel. • Turning adjustment bolt counterclockwise to increase steering lever travel. 4. Tighten the jam nut. GB - 22
