SEAT ADJUSTMENT

See Figure 27. The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Move the lever forward, position the seat as desired, and release the lever to lock the seat into posi- tion.

GROUND SPEED CONTROL LEVER ADJUSTMENT

The control levers can be adjusted in two ways. The alignment of the control levers can be adjusted along with the placement of the levers (how close the ends are to one another) can be adjusted.

To Adjust the Handle Alignment

Loosen the mount bolts (A, Figure 28) and pivot the lever(s) (C, Figure 28) to align with each other.

To Adjust the Handle Placement

Loosen the jam nuts and adjust the placement bolt (B, Figure 28) in or out to properly adjust the lever end spacing.

SPEED BALANCING ADJUSTMENT

If the rider veers to the right or left when the ground speed control levers are in the maximum forward posi- tion, the top speed of each of these levers can be bal- anced by turning the adjustment bolt(s) (A, Figure 29). Only adjust the speed of the wheel that is traveling faster.

To Reduce the Speed of the Faster Wheel

1.Loosen the securing nut.

2.turn the top speed adjustment bolt COUNTER- CLOCKWISE to reduce the speed.

3.Retighten the securing nut when adjustment is com- plete.

WARNING

DO NOT adjust the tractor for a faster overall speed forward or reverse than it was designed for.
