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, 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 nut knob, bell washer, and carriage bolt 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 20.

•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.
