3. With the motion control levers in the neutral
position (see Figure 4) (with no force on the lever
either forward or back), the neutral LCD indicator
should appear.
4. If the indicator illuminates, move the RH lever
first forward, then backward, noting the position
of the control lever when the indicator disappears.
The amount of movement, both forward and
back, should be approximately the same; if not,
go to step 6.
5. If the indicator does not illuminate, move both
motion control levers forward and then backward.
Continue to watch the message display and note
the position of the controls when it appears.
6. Loosen the lock nuts on the RH motion control
linkage (as viewed from the rear of the machine
— see Figure 37). With the right motion control
in the PTO disengage position, hold the LH
motion control in the position determined in step
4 or 5. Rotate the adjustment rod until the LCD
indicator comes on.
