Ground Speed Control Lever Adjustment - Snapper SFH13320KW Safety Instructions & Operator's Manual

GROUND SPEED CONTROL LEVER
LOCATION ADJUSTMENT
The control levers can be adjusted in two ways to pro-
vide a comfortable working range when operating the
machine at the average mowing speed.
Adjust both the lever height and lever position at the
same time to obtain the most comfortable working posi-
tion
Adjusting the Lever Height:
1. Loosen the lever fastener (B, Figure 17) to adjust the
lever height. Make sure the levers are parallel with
the handle bars in both forward and reverse without
contacting the handle bars.
Adjusting the Lever Position:
1. Remove the hairpin and clevis pin (D) that fasten the
control rod (E) to the lever pivot (C).
2. Loosen the jam nut and adjust the position of the cle-
vis on the rod. By shortening the rod (turning the
clevis clockwise), it will move the lever forward. By
lengthening the rod (turning the clevis counter-clock-
wise), it will move the lever rearward. Adjust until the
desired lever position is obtained and tighten the jam
nuts.
3. Reinstall the clevis on the lever pivot and secure with
the clevis pin and hairpin.
