SEAT ADJUSTMENTS
The seat and ground speed control levers should be
adjusted so the ground speed control levers can be
moved through their full range of motion.
The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Loosen the
adjustment knob (A, Figure 29) located on the underside
of the seat deck, move the seat to the desired position,
then tighten the knob.
GROUND SPEED CONTROL LEVER
ADJUSTMENT
The control levers have three adjustments:
To Adjust Control Lever Height: Pull the levers in
across the operator’s lap to their DRIVE positions.
Loosen the mount bolts (D, Figure 30) and raise or lower
the levers to the desired position. Tighten the mounting
bolts.(D).
To Adjust Control Lever End Gap: The control lever
end gap should be adjusted so that the levers do not
contact each other when placed in DRIVE positions.
Loosen the jam nut (A, Figure 30) and adjust the length
of the carriage bolt (B) so that the levers do not contact
each other. Repeat on the opposite side. Tighten the
jam nut (A) to lock the carriage bolt in position.
To Adjust Operator Clearance: The space between the
operator and the control levers can be increase by
removing the upper mounting bolt (D, Figure 30), pivoting
the lever forward, and reinstalling the capscrew through
the control lever and forward slot (C). Repeat with the
other ground speed lever.
