ADJUSTING RH & LH DRIVE CONTROL LEVERS
The RH and LH drive control levers can be adjusted
up or down and fore-and-aft for the comfort of the
operator. The drive control levers can be placed in
either of two height positions, or can be moved
forward or rearward within the range of the slot in
each control lever mounting bracket.
To adjust the drive control lever height, proceed as
follows:
• Remove the nut knob, bell washer, and carriage
bolt securing the lever to the pivot bracket.
• While supporting the control lever to keep it from
falling, remove the hex insert flange lock nut and
shoulder screw from the bottom of the control
lever and pivot bracket. Refer to Figure 22.
• Reposition the control lever to align with the other
set of holes in the pivot bracket and insert the
shoulder screw removed earlier. Fasten with the
hex insert flange lock nut and tighten until snug.
