Adjusting the Control Handle
Neutral Position
If the motion control levers do not align or move easily
into the console notch, adjustment them. Adjust each
lever, spring, and rod separately.
Note: The motion control levers must be installed
correctly. See Installing the Motion Control Levers in
the Setup Instructions.
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control levers
to the neutral locked position, and set the parking
brake.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
3. Tilt the seat forward.
4. Begin with either the left or right motion control
lever.
5. Move lever to the neutral position but not locked
(Figure 53).

6. Pull the lever back until the clevis pin (on the
arm below the pivot shaft) contacts the end of the
slot (just beginning to put pressure on the spring)
(Figure 54).

7. Check where the control lever is relative to the notch
in the console (Figure 53). It should be centered,
allowing the lever to pivot outward to the neutral
lock position.
8. If adjustment is needed, loosen the nut and jam nut
against the yoke (Figure 54).
9. Apply slight rearward pressure on the motion control
lever, and turn the head of the adjustment bolt in
the appropriate direction until the control lever is
centered in the neutral lock position.
Note: Keeping rearward pressure on the lever will
keep the pin at the end of the slot and allow the
adjustment bolt to move the lever to the appropriate
position.
10. Tighten the nut and jam nut (Figure 54).
11. Repeat on the opposite side of machine.
