Position Drive Control levers
The drive control levers of the tractor are lowered for shipping
purposes. The hex screws and flat washers that normally secure
the control levers in their operating position are in a hardware
pack inside your manual bag. The control levers must be
repositioned to operate the tractor. To reposition the control
levers for operation, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the hex screws and flat washers from the hardware
pack in your manual bag.
2. Lift and swing that control lever upward until the slotted
hole in the lever bracket aligns with one of the holes in the
pivot bracket. See Figure 3-4.

3. Slide the flat washer onto the hex screw. From the outside,
insert the hex screw with washer through the control lever
slot and the hole of the pivot bracket. See Figure 3-4. Using
a 1⁄2" wrench snug the screw, but do not fully tighten.
4. Note the relative position of the control lever to the pivot
bracket, then repeat the previous steps to reposition the
other control lever in approximately the same position.
CAUTION:
prevent the control levers from slipping out of
position.
5. Refer to "Adjusting the Drive Control Levers" in the
Maintenance & Adjustments for instructions for the final
adjustment of the levers.
