Adjusting the Control
Handle Neutral Position
If motion control levers do not align, or move
easily into the console notch, adjustment is
required. Adjust each lever, spring and rod
separately.
Note: Motion control levers must be installed
correctly. See Installing the Motion Control Levers
in the set up 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. Unlatch the seat and tilt the seat forward.
4. Begin with either the left or right motion
control lever.
5. Move the lever to the neutral position but not
locked (Figure 62).

6. Pull the lever back until the clevis pin (on arm
below pivot shaft) contacts the end of the slot
(just beginning to put pressure on the spring)
(Figure 62).
7. Check where the control lever is relative to
notch in console (Figure 62). It should be
centered allowing lever to pivot outward to the
neutral lock position.
8. If adjustment is needed, loosen the nut and
jam nut against the yoke (Figure 63).
9. Apply slight rearward pressure on the motion
control lever, turn the head of the adjustment
bolt in the appropriate direction until the
control lever is centered in the neutral lock
position (Figure 63).
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 63).
11. Repeat for the opposite side of the machine.
