ADJUSTING RH & LH DRIVE CONTROL LEVERS
The RH and LH drive control levers can be adjusted
up or down and fore-and-aft for the comfort of the
operator. The drive control levers can be placed in
either of two height positions, and/or can be moved
forward or rearward within the range of the slot in
each control lever mounting bracket.
To adjust the drive control lever height, proceed as
follows:
• Remove the flange lock nut, flat washer, and hex
screw securing the lever to the pivot bracket.
• While supporting the control lever to keep it from
falling, remove the hex insert flange lock nut and
shoulder screw from the bottom of the control
lever and pivot bracket. Refer to Figure 22.
• Reposition the control lever to align with the other
set of holes in the pivot bracket and insert the
shoulder screw removed earlier. Fasten with the
hex insert flange lock nut and tighten until snug.
• Insert the hex screw w/washer through the
control lever slot and the pivot bracket.Thread the
flange lock nut onto the screw, but do not tighten
now.
• If you are going to adjust the control levers
forward or rearward, proceed to the next step. If
not, fully the flange lock nut.
Figure 22
To adjust the drive control levers forward or rearward,
proceed as follows:
If not already loose, loosen the flange lock nut and
rotate the control lever either forward or rearward to
the desired position. See Figure 22.
NOTE: If the control lever is too tight to move, slightly
loosen the hex insert flange lock nut and shoulder
screw at the bottom of the control lever.
• Tighten the flange lock nut to fix the control lever
in the adjusted position
• Repeat the above procedure to adjust the other
control lever into the same position. Adjust so
that both levers are even with each other when in
the neutral position.
