Tracking Adjustment
Zero turn tractors should drive in a straight line with the wheels going straight forward and WITHOUT
having to "steer" the unit straight. If the tracking is off and the person "forces" the unit to drive straight
by steering it straight, there can be whining from one of the hydros if there is enough traction to load up
the hydro. On grass, this would probably result in turf tear. If the user points the unit forward and drives
it, tracking will be off if the rear wheels determine where the unit goes. The unit will drift to one side or
the other as the steering wheel "follows" where the back wheels are driving the unit.
1. Safely raise unit so rear wheels are off the
ground. Insert jack stands.
2. Place a piece of tape on each rear wheel and on
the consoles, aligning the pieces of tape.

Questions and answers
sometime when I make a hard turn to the left on a sw5000 the left hydraulic unit stays locked and the mower will only go to the left. I can keep trying to get ot to free up and it will go back to normal. what could be the fix
The issue could be related to the tracking adjustment of the hydrostatic drive system. If the unit drifts or stays locked when making a hard left turn, follow these steps:
1. Check Tracking Adjustment – Ensure that the unit drives in a straight line without needing to steer it straight. If tracking is off, adjust it as needed.
2. Raise Rear Wheels – Safely lift the unit so that the rear wheels are off the ground.
3. Inspect Hydrostatic Drive System – Look for any signs of binding or excessive resistance in the hydrostatic drive components.
4. Check for Whining Noise – If there is a whining sound when forcing the unit straight, it could indicate excessive load on one of the hydraulic units.
5. Ensure Proper Belt Tension – Verify that the hydrostatic drive belt is properly routed and tensioned.
If the issue persists after these steps, further inspection of the hydrostatic drive system may be required.
