WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM
______________________________________________________________________________________________
POTENTIOMETER ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the potentiometer if the machine has no drive, or if it moves with the twist grips in neutral. To adjust the
potentiometer...
1
Remove the back panel from the control handle.
2
Carefully inspect the potentiometer belt and pulley mechanism for a mechanical defect, correct defects before
proceeding.
3
Carefully pull the potentiometer connector (the one with the green, black and white wires) off of the speed control.
4
Connect an ohmmeter (on 0 x 100 scale) to the green and white wires on the connector. The meter should read
between 2400 and 2600 ohms. If it does not, go to the next step.
5
Loosen the (2) set screws (using a 5/64 Allen wrench) in the potentiometer pulley and slide it off of the potentiometer
shaft (if the potentiometer shaft does not have a slot in the end of it) (if it does, use a screw driver to adjust the
potentiometer after loosening the pulley set screws).
6
Turn the potentiometer shaft until the ohmmeter reads between 2400 and 2600 ohms.
7
Slide the pulley back onto the potentiometer shaft, being careful not to turn the shaft.
8
Test the drive system for proper operation before reinstalling the back panel.
