Adjustment Procedures

If any control fails to operate properly during testing or seems
to be out of adjustment, check and re-adjust it according to
the following instructions.

Seat Adjustment

The seat can be adjusted forward and back. Move the lever
(A, Figure 25) towards the left, position the seat as desired,
and release the lever to lock the seat into position.

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 26) and pivot the lever(s)
(C) to align with each other.

To Adjust the Handle Placement
12
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 27). Only adjust the speed of the
wheel that is traveling faster.
27
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.

Cutting Height Adjustment

The cutting height adjustment pin (A, Figure 28) controls
the mower's cutting height. The cutting height is adjustable
between 1-1/2" (3,8 cm) and 5" (12,7 cm) in 1/4" (0,64 cm)
increments.
Note: Make sure that the pin is inserted into the holes in both
upper and lower plates of the pin box (B).
