Adjustment
Check to see if an adjustment is required:
1. With the engine off, turn the ignition switch to
the “ON” position.
2. Locate the LCD indicator in the message display.
Figure 31
1. Neutral LCD indicator
3. With the motion control levers in the neutral
position (see Figure 4) (with no force on the lever
either forward or back), the neutral LCD indicator
should appear.
4. If the indicator illuminates, move the RH lever
first forward, then backward, noting the position
of the control lever when the indicator disappears.
The amount of movement, both forward and
back, should be approximately the same; if not,
go to step 6.
5. If the indicator does not illuminate, move both
motion control levers forward and then backward.
Continue to watch the message display and note
the position of the controls when it appears.
6. Loosen the lock nuts on the turnbuckle on the
RH motion control (as viewed from the rear of
the machine — see Figure 32). With the right
motion control in the PTO disengage position,
hold the LH motion control in the position
determined in step 4 or 5. Rotate the turnbuckle
until the LCD indicator comes on.

7. Continue to rotate the turnbuckle, counting the
turns, until the LCD indicator turns off. Rotate
the turnbuckle in the opposite direction half the
number of turns counted. Release the LH motion
control lever and tighten the lock nuts on the
right side.
8. Adjust the turnbuckle on the LH side (as viewed
from the rear of the machine — see Figure 33)
until the left control has approximately the same
natural neutral position as the right. If more
adjustment is needed, contact an Authorized
Service Dealer. Final adjustment of the left side
is done in the tracking adjustment section. If no
adjustment is required, see Check the Neutral
Switch Alignment section.
