Adjusting the
Control-Handle Position
There are 2 height positions for the control
levers—high and low. Remove the bolts to adjust the
height for the operator.
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion-control
levers to the
NEUTRAL
parking brake.
2. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
3. Loosen the bolts and flange nuts installed in the
levers (Figure 83).
4. Align the levers in the front-to-rear position by
bringing the levers together to the
position, and slide them until they are aligned,
then tighten the bolts

Adjusting the
Motion-Control Linkage
Located on either side of the fuel tank, below the seat
are the pump-control linkages. Rotating the pump
linkage with a 1/2–inch wrench allows fine tuning
adjustments so that the machine does not move in
neutral. Any adjustments should be made for neutral
positioning only.
WARNING
g009040
Engine must be running and drive wheels
must be turning so motion control adjustment
can be performed. Contact with moving parts
or hot surfaces may cause personal injury.
Keep fingers, hands, and clothing clear of
rotating components and hot surfaces.
1. Prior to starting the engine, push the deck-lift
pedal, and remove the height-of-cut pin.
2. Lower deck to the ground.
3. Raise the rear of machine up and support it with
jack stands (or equivalent support).
Note:
Raise the machine just high enough to
allow drive wheels to turn freely.
