Control lever adjustment
The control levers can be adjusted for operator comfort. By loosening the cap screws that attaches the upper control
lever to the lower lever FIG. 56, the upper control lever can be pivoted to fit the operator’s personal preference.
The control levers should be adjusted so that they align with each other when in the neutral position.
