Ground Speed Control Lever Adjustment

The control levers can be adjusted in three ways. The alignment

of the control levers, the placement of the levers (how close the

ends are to one another) and the height of the levers can be

adjusted.

To Adjust the Handle Alignment

Loosen the mount bolts (A, Figure 37) and pivot the lever(s) (C)

to align with each other.

To Adjust the Handle Placement

Loosen the jam nuts and adjust the placement bolt (B) in or out

to properly adjust the lever end spacing.

To Adjust the Handle Height

Remove the mounting hardware and reposition the handle either

up or down from its original position. You will need to readjust

the handle alignment as described above.

Speed Balancing Adjustment

If the rider veers to the right or left when the ground speed control

levers are in the maximum forward position, the top speed of

each of these levers can be balanced by turning the adjustment

bolt(s) (A, Figure 38). Only adjust the speed of the wheel that is

traveling faster.

To Reduce the Speed of the Faster Wheel

1. Loosen the securing nut (B).

2. Turn the top speed adjustment bolt counter-clockwise to

reduce the speed.

3. Retighten the securing nut when adjustment is complete.

WARNING

DO NOT adjust the tractor for a faster overall speed

forward or reverse than it was designed for.

Neutral Adjustment

If the tractor "creeps" while the ground speed control levers are

locked in the NEUTRAL, then it may be necessary to adjust the

linkage rod.

NOTE: Perform this adjustment on a hard, level surface such

as a concrete floor.

1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake and turn off

the engine.

2. There are three nuts (B, Figure 39) on the linkage rod. The

first two are to be used together to run the rod and the third

(towards the front of the machine) is used to lock the rod in

place. Loosen the jam nut that locks against the ball joint (C)

and turn the linkage rod (A) to adjust.
