The pitch of the steering levers is adjustable to
accommodate the comfort of the mower operator.
Each lever is independently adjustable by manipu-
lating the bolts on the lower portion of the lever. To
adjust the lever:
1. Loosen the two bolts in the bracket which holds
the steering lever. Do not remove the bolts.
2. Adjust the angle of the steering lever by using
the upper bolt as a pivot point and moving the le-
ver either back or forth. The lower bolt will slide
through the opening in the lever.
3. Once the desired position is achieved, re-tighten
the steering lever bolts.
The height of the steering levers may also be adjust-
ed by moving the entire upper portion of the lever up
or down into the pre-drilled holes in the lower brack-
et (lever shown in the middle position).
