Adjusting the Control-Handle
Position
There are 2 height positions for the control levers—high and
low. Remove the bolts to adjust the height.
1. Disengage the blade-control switch (PTO), move the
motion-control levers to the N
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. Loosen the bolts and flange nuts installed in the levers
(Figure 84).
4. Align the levers in the front-to-rear position by bringing
the levers together to the N
until they are aligned, and tighten the bolts

Adjusting the Motion-Control
Linkage
Located on either side of the fuel tank, below the seat are the
pump-control linkages. Rotating the pump linkage with a
1/2 inch wrench allows fine tuning adjustments so that the
machine does not move in neutral. Any adjustments should
be made for neutral positioning only.
WARNING
The engine must be running and the drive wheels
must be turning so that the motion control
adjustment can be performed. Contact with moving
parts or hot surfaces may cause personal injury.
Keep your fingers, hands, and clothing clear of
rotating components and hot surfaces.
1. Prior to starting the engine, push the deck lift pedal,
remove the height-of-cut pin, and lower the deck to
the ground.
2. Raise the rear of the machine up and support it with
jack stands (or equivalent support) just high enough to
allow the drive wheels to turn freely.
3. Remove the electrical connection from the seat safety
switch, located under the bottom cushion of the seat.
Note: The switch is a part of the seat assembly.
4. Temporarily install a jumper wire across the terminals
in the connector of the main wire harness.
5. Start the engine.
