Control Lever Parallel Adjustment
The control levers, 1 and 2, are factory set at 9° to the
front. The levers can be set for operator comfort and
adjusted so the two levers are parallel. To adjust the
levers, loosen bolts, 3, and move the levers to the de-
sired position and retighten hardware. Moving the
control levers too far one direction will change maxi-
mum ground speeds.
Control Lever Stop Adjustment
If the control lever location has been changed for any
reason, the control lever stops will require adjust-
ment. The control lever stops must be adjusted prop-
erly to prevent damage to the linkage and internal
transmission components. The lever stops are the
lower control lever boot assembly, 1.
To adjust the stops follow these steps:
1. Loosen the four cap screws, 2, at each lever stop.
2. Pull the control lever forward until the internal
transmission stop is felt and hold the linkage
against the internal stop.
3. Slide the boot stop assembly, 1, to the rear to
contact the control lever and then push the stop
and lever another 1/32". This will insure that
when the control levers are fully stroked the lever
will contact the external stop and not the internal
transmission stop.
4. Check wheel speed using a hand tach from side
to side and slow down the faster side by moving
the boot stop and lever to the rear on the fast
side.
CAUTION
The loader must be raised and supported with
the tires off the ground. use adequate blocking or
jack stands to securely support the loader.
5. Check and tighten all control lever linkage hard-
ware.
IMPORTANT: If the external control lever stops are
not adjusted properly, the control linkage and trans-
mission may be damaged.
6. Reinstall the shields removed for the repair.
7. Lower the skid-steer loader off the blocks.
8. Operate the loader and check the unit for straight
travel; readjust if required.
