4.10 ADJUSTING THE UNIT TO TRACK
STRAIGHT
Model EZT 915065, 502 with serial numbers above
10,000
(Figure 13)
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.
See steering section for illustrations.
1. Determine which way the unit turns.
2. Tip seat forward
NOTE: The forward travel adjustment bolt adjusts for-
ward travel of the steering lever. The rear travel adjust-
ment bolt adjusts the rearward travel of the steering
lever.
3. Adjust speed by:
Turning adjustment bolt clockwise to decrease
steering lever travel.
Turning adjustment bolt counterclockwise to
increase steering lever travel.
