Adjusting the Control Handle
Neutral Position
If the motion control levers do not align, or move easily into
the console notch, adjustment is required. Adjust each lever,
spring, and rod separately.
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control levers to
the neutral-locked position, and set the parking brake.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving
parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
3. Unlatch the seat and tilt the seat forward.
4. Begin with either the left or right motion control lever.
5. Move the lever to the neutral position but not locked
(Figure 76).
6. Pull the lever back until the clevis pin (on arm below
pivot shaft) contacts the end of the slot (just beginning
to put pressure on the spring)
7. Check where the control lever is relative to notch in
console (Figure 76). It should be centered allowing
lever to pivot outward to the neutral-lock position.

9. Apply slight rearward pressure on the motion control
lever, turn the head of the adjustment bolt in the
appropriate direction until the control lever is centered
in the neutral-lock position
Note: Keeping rearward pressure on the lever will
keep the pin at the end of the slot and allow the
adjustment bolt to move the lever to the appropriate
position.
