CONTROL LEVERS
There are two mounting positions for the control
levers, upper and lower. The lower position works
well for most people. Taller operators may need the
upper position.
To adjust the height of the control levers:
– Remove bolts A and nuts B.
– Align holes in control lever D with appropriate
holes in traction lever bracket C.
– Install bolts A and nuts B.
The upper mounting hole for the control levers is
slotted to allow fore-aft adjustment and to allow
alignment of the levers.
To adjust or align the control levers:
– Loosen nuts B.
– Adjust control lever position.
– Tighten nuts B.
PARKING BRAKE
Start with parking brake N in the OFF position.
1. Disconnect one end of rods M (at brakes on both
sides of the machine).
2. Move the parking brake lever to the ON position.
3. Adjust rods M on each brake to be 3/4" short of
connecting to the spring when all the slack is
taken out of the brake linkage and brake lever N.
4. Move the parking brake to the OFF position and
reconnect rods M.
This adjustment will cause the brake springs to
stretch 3/4" when the brake is in the ON position to
provide the correct parking brake force without
overloading the brake.
