Stopping the Machine
To stop the machine, move the motion control
levers to neutral and outward to the neutral
position, disengage the blade control switch,
move the throttle lever to between Fast and
half throttle, and turn the ignition key to off.
Remember to remove the key from the
ignition switch.
Tracking Adjustment
If the machine turns right or left when handles
are pushed forward together, adjust the stop
on the side opposite the direction of turn (see
Figure 14). Loosen the screws that hold the
motion control limiter stop. Move the stop
back until the unit drives straight. Tighten the
screws to lock the stop in place. Readjust
handles if necessary.
