•From the inside, insert the carriage bolt into the pivot bracket and through the control lever slot. See Figure 2.

•Slide the bell washer onto the carriage bolt, then thread the nut knob onto the bolt. Fully tighten the knob to temporarily secure control lever (See Figure 2). Refer to "Adjusting the Drive Control Levers" in Section 3 for instructions on final adjustment of the levers.
