the ground. Operate the equipment to make sure
the adjustments and the safety devices are
operating properly.
Tracking Adjustments
Tracking adjustment is necessary when the speed of
one transaxle is faster then the other; so that the unit
will not travel in a reasonable straight line. The faster
transaxle must be slowed down to correct this. Before
making this adjustment, ensue there is no other reason
for poor tracking – tire pressure, bent or dragging
wheel, loose linkage, etc. (Figure 60).

Behind the right and left actuator arm is an eccentric
bushing. There is a bolt and nut through the center of
the eccentric bushing. Loosen the bolt and nut and turn
the eccentric bushing to decrease the actuator arm
movement forward. NOTE: The tracking adjustment is
for forward motion only. In reverse, you may have a
slight speed difference; this is normal. Tighten the bolt
and nut on the eccentric bushing when you obtain
equal tracking in the forward position (Figure 61).
