Ground Speed Control Lever Adjustment
The control levers can be adjusted in three ways. The alignment of the control levers, the placement of the levers (how close the ends are to one another) and the height of the levers can be adjusted.
To Adjust the Handle Alignment
Loosen the mount bolts (A, Figure 31) and pivot the lever(s) (C) to align with each other.
To Adjust the Handle Placement
Loosen the jam nuts and adjust the placement bolt (B) in or out to properly adjust the lever end spacing.
To Adjust the Handle Height
Remove the mounting hardware and reposition the handle either up or down from its original position. You will need to readjust the handle alignment as described above.

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 complete.
