Tracking Adjustment
Steering and tracking may need minor adjustments if
the unit steers to the right or left when both steering
control levers are pushed all the way forward.
(Use caution before adjusting the steering and tracking
on your mower. Several elements affect steering and
tracking such as rough terrain and tire pressure.)
1. Determine the side of your drive system that has the
fastest ground speed. i.e. (If your machine steers to
the right your left side is faster than your right side.)
2. Adjusting the fastest side of your drive system to
match the speed of your slower drive system
component.(Manufacturer Recommendation)
3. Adjust the tracking adjustment bolts clockwise
to slow the machine down and counter clockwise to
speed the machine up.
