CONTROL LEVERS
There are two mounting positions for the control
levers, upper and lower. The lower position works
well for most people. Taller operators may need the
upper position.
To adjust the height of the control levers:
– Remove bolts A and nuts B.
– Align holes in control lever D with appropriate
	holes in traction lever bracket C.
– Install bolts A and nuts B.
The upper mounting hole for the control levers is
slotted to allow fore-aft adjustment and to allow
alignment of the levers.
To adjust or align the control levers:
–	Loosen nuts B.
– Adjust control lever position.
–	Tighten nuts B.
