CORRECTING ISSUES
1. If the Walker pulls to the right at slower speeds this means the left-hand transmission is too fast. Turn the ESNA nut on the left-hand transmission clockwise, slowing down that transmission.
2. If the Walker pulls to the left at slower speeds this means the right-hand transmission is too fast. Turn the ESNA nut on the right-hand transmission clockwise, slowing down that transmission.
3. If the Walker only pulls at full speed different steps are needed.
4. Tilt-open the mower body.
5. If the Walker pulls either direction at full speed, this means the opposite transmission is too fast. Locate the locking nut and set screw on the transmission's top plate to adjust maximum travel speed. Refer to your operator's manual for detailed instructions.
