TRACKING ADJUSTMENTS (SZT UNITS ONLY)  
When both motion control levers are fully engaged in  
forward drive, the machine should move in a straight  
line. If the machine tracks (veers) left or right, a  
tracking adjustment must be made. Each motion  
control lever is equipped with a tracking adjustment  
plate. See Figure 5. Moving the plate forward or  
backward adjusts the machine’s tracking:  
1. If mower tracks to the left, loosen the two torx  
screws on the left adjustment plate, slide plate  
forward approximately 1/8”, and retighten screws.  
(If plate is already as far forward as it can go,  
loosen the right plate and slide back 1/8”.) Check  
machine tracking and repeat as needed.  
2. If mower tracks to the right, loosen the two torx  
screws on the right adjustment plate, slide plate  
forward approximately 1/8”, and retighten screws.  
(If plate is already as far forward as it can go,  
loosen the left plate and slide back 1/8”.) Check  
machine tracking and repeat as needed.  
3. In cases of severe tracking, one plate may  
need to be moved fully back and the other moved  
fully forward.
