Tracking

If the mower is not tracking straight, check the air

pressure in both rear tires. Recommended air pressure

is 15 psi (1 bar). Tracking must be checked on a flat

and level concrete or blacktop surface.
The tracking knob is located in front of the left control

lever. Rotating this knob allows fine tuning adjustments

so that the machine tracks straight with the drive

levers in the full forward position.
Rotate the knob clockwise (as viewed from the

operating position) to increase the speed or

counterclockwise to decrease the speed on the left

control lever. Example: If control levers are full forward

and the unit turns to the right, turn the tracking knob

counterclockwise to decrease the speed on the left

control lever.
If unit still does not track straight, contact a Yazoo/

Kees dealer for adjustment.

Bypass Linkages

When pushing or pulling the mower, be sure to open

the release valves on the both hydraulic pumps.
Always turn off engine before engaging or disengaging

the hydro release. Never attempt to adjust the bypass

linkages with the engine running.
The hydro release valves are located below the seat,

on the front side of the hydro pumps.
1. Raise the deck into highest cutting position.
2. Lift the seat frame assembly to access the

release valves.

3. Use a

5. To engage, rotate each pump bolt clockwise

until the bolt is snug. Do not overtighten the

release valve or damage to the hydro pump
