GROUND SPEED CONTROL LEVER LOCATION ADJUSTMENT
The control levers can be adjusted in two ways to provide a comfortable working range when operating the machine at the average mowing speed.
Adjust both the lever height and lever position at the same time to obtain the most comfortable working position
Adjusting the Lever Height:
1.Loosen the lever fastener (B, Figure 18) to adjust the lever height. Make sure the levers are parallel with the handle bars in both forward and reverse without contacting the handle bars.
Adjusting the Lever Position:
1.Remove the hairpin and clevis pin (D) that fasten the control rod (E) to the lever pivot (C).
2.Loosen the jam nut and adjust the position of the clevis on the rod. By shortening the rod (turning the clevis clockwise), it will move the lever forward. By lengthening the rod (turning the clevis counter- clockwise), it will move the lever rearward. Adjust until the desired lever position is obtained and tighten the jam nuts.
3.Reinstall the clevis on the lever pivot and secure with the clevis pin and hairpin.
