Adjusting RH & LH Drive Control Levers
The RH and LH drive control levers can be adjusted up or down
and fore-and-aft for the comfort of the operator. The drive
control levers can be placed in either of two height positions,
and/or can be moved forward or rearward within the range of
the slot in each control lever mounting bracket.
To adjust the drive control lever height, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the flange lock nut, flat washer, and hex screw
securing the lever to the pivot bracket.
2. While supporting the control lever to keep it from falling,
remove the hex insert flange lock nut and shoulder screw
from the bottom of the control lever and pivot bracket.
Refer to Fig. 6-5.

3. Reposition the control lever to align with the other set of
holes in the pivot bracket and insert the shoulder screw
removed earlier. Fasten with the hex insert flange lock nut
and tighten until snug.
4. Insert the hex screw with washer through the control lever
slot and the pivot bracket. Thread the flange lock nut onto
the screw, but do not tighten now.
5. If you are going to adjust the control levers forward or
rearward, proceed to the next step. If not, fully tighten the
flange lock nut.
To adjust the drive control levers forward or rearward, proceed as
follows:
1. If not already loose, loosen the flange lock nut and rotate
the control lever either forward or rearward to the desired
position. See Fig. 6-5.
NOTE: If the control lever is too tight to move, slightly
loosen the hex insert flange lock nut and shoulder screw at
the bottom of the control lever.
2. Tighten the flange lock nut to fix the control lever in the
adjusted position
3. Repeat the above procedure to adjust the other control
lever into the same position. Adjust so that both levers are
even with each other when in the neutral position.
